Abundant flow, quèsaco? 

The first thing to do is to define if your flow is indeed abundant. It is estimated that a loss of 50 to 80 ml of blood per cycle is considered abundant. We are well aware that it is not always easy to quantify the blood lost during your period. However, you can rely on the number of times you change your tampon or pad. Thus, if you change it every two hours and if you have your period for 7 days with the presence of blood clots, it is highly likely that you have a heavy flow.

Your gynecologist or your general practitioner will be able to offer you solutions and suggest additional examinations to rule out certain diseases.

• For example benign tumors can make your period heavy. Sometimes painful, they can however go unnoticed. This is why a gynecological examination is necessary to rule out this possibility. 
• THEadenomyosis (presence of endometrium in the uterus) can also cause heavy periods. Again, only an examination can determine whether you have it or not. 
• endometriosis results in pelvic pain, heavy periods, fatigue and anemia. More and more women today suffer from this disease. If you experience these symptoms, talk to your doctor so that he can refer you to the appropriate specialists.
