Your period - is this normal? Heavy flow

 


Your period is a big part of your life, even though you probably don't think about it much. It's just something that happens once a month and then vanishes into oblivion until next month's visit. For many, their period is routine and fairly predictable. However, if there are signs your menstrual cycle has changed—or that something might be going wrong with it—it's important to pay attention! This is the second post in the Your period - is this normal? series, which will help you figure out what changes in your period might mean when it comes to your health.


If your periods are getting heavier.

If your periods are heavier, it could be a sign of endometriosis, uterine fibroids or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

Endometriosis: This is when the tissue that lines the uterus grows outside it. It can cause scarring on other organs and tissues in the pelvis — including on your bladder and bowels — which means more severe pain with your period. It also causes heavy bleeding during and between periods because there's more tissue to shed each month.

Uterine Fibroids: These noncancerous tumours form inside the uterus. They can grow up to 17 centimetres (7 inches) long! If they press against nearby organs like blood vessels or nearby organs such as ovaries, they can cause serious pain during sex or with other movements as well as heavy bleeding during and between periods.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS): PCOS is an endocrine disorder that affects women of reproductive age by causing small cysts on their ovaries along with abnormal menstrual bleeding patterns such as having fewer than nine cycles per year or irregular periods lasting longer than seven days at a time


If you need to change your tampon or pad more frequently than you think is normal.

If you need to change your tampon or pad more frequently than you think is normal, it might be a sign that the amount of blood loss has increased.

You may also notice that when you do change your pad or tampon, it's soaked in blood. This could mean that there’s been an increase in blood flow to the vagina and uterus due to hormones released during menstruation. This can happen before and/or during ovulation (when an egg is released from one of your ovaries) as well as during pregnancy.

If you feel like this is happening, talk with someone about what's going on so they can help figure out why this is happening with your menstrual cycle!


We hope this article has given you a better understanding of what your period means when it comes to your health. Remember that just because something isn't normal for you doesn't mean it's abnormal—you may just be experiencing some normal variations in your cycle. If you're still concerned, consult with a doctor who can help diagnose any potential problems based on the details of your symptoms, including how often they occur and what they look like.

Self-medication and the rise of drug-resistant infections

Image
In recent years, self-medication has become increasingly common as people seek quick solutions to their health problems. The ease of access to over-the-counter drugs and the desire to avoid the hassle of visiting a doctor often leads individuals to self-diagnose and self-prescribe medications. However, self-medication can have serious consequences, particularly when it comes to the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and its impact on our health. Understanding Self-Medication Self-medication involves the use of medications without proper medical guidance or supervision. It can include over-the-counter drugs, herbal remedies, and even prescription medications obtained without a doctor's prescription. Self-medication often arises from various factors, such as convenience, perceived cost savings, lack of time, and the belief that one can accurately diagnose and treat their symptoms without professional help. The Connection Between Self-Medication and AMR Antimicrobial resist...

The Healthy and Delicious Way to Lose Weight

Image
If you want to lose weight and improve your health, try the African diet plan. This is a way of eating based on the healthy food traditions of people with African roots, which are rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, and lean animal proteins. The African diet plan can help you shed excess pounds, lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and prevent or manage diabetes and other chronic diseases. Here are some tips on how to follow the African diet plan for losing weight: 1.      Eat colourful fruits and vegetables every day.

Fruits and vegetables also fill you up and prevent you from overeating. Go for a rainbow of colours, from tomatoes, cabbage, spinach, avocado, mango, ackee, papaya, jackfruit, eggplant or green vegetables like green beans, callaloo, okra and spinach. 2.  ...
