Скачать или смотреть Heavy Periods: What’s Normal, What’s Not, and What Helps

You don’t have to bleed like this.
Heavy periods affect millions of women — yet so many are told to just put up with it. In this video, I explain what’s classed as a heavy period, what causes it, and most importantly, what you can do about it.

As a GP, I see so many women worn out from bleeding through clothes, doubling up on pads, and battling low iron. Let’s change that.

You’ll learn:
• What counts as a heavy period
• Common causes (including fibroids, perimenopause and more)
• When to see your GP
• How to talk to your doctor
• The best treatments available — from medications to the coil
• Why you don’t have to just put up with it

I’m Dr Sophie and I want you to feel informed and in control of your health.
