Every woman has a different menstrual period

Menstruation is different for every woman. Some people hardly notice it and are not bothered by it at all. However, others suffer from many annoying symptoms, such as:

• bloated feeling

• inflammation
• pain

However, there are some signs that will tell you if this is normal. You should pay  particular attention to sudden changes,  which could be caused by stress, a change in your diet, or another health problem.

A heavy menstrual period

A heavy period, also known as  menorrhagia , can also be something genetic that many have always suffered from.

However, it can also be related to other things:

• endometriosis
• uterine fibroids
• endometrial polyps

Many women have no idea whether their periods are heavy or not because they have no frame of reference. So see if you have answers to these questions:

• Does menstruation last  longer than eight to ten days?
• Do you use more than eight pads or tampons a day  or do you need to change every two to three hours?

• Does the cycle last longer than 21 days?
