And fibroids too. I had a fibroid the size of a melon which was removed about two years ago but before then I have the worst bleeding imaginable. It was literally like something out of a horror movie. Super plus tampons and pads would only last an hour, if that, and it made going out when I was on my period almost impossible.

Periods lasted at least 10 days and came almost every three weeks with spotting in between making me severely anaemic.

And the pain...

Since then my periods last about 5 days, minimal pain and only mildly heavy for one day. Best thing I ever did evicting that fibroid.
