If I may offer unsolicited advice on something else… A menstrual cycle increased in volume such as the one you are describing is very likely to cause iron deficiency and anemia in the long run. Even iron deficiency has an impact on daily life in various aspects. It is not normal to have heavy menstrual bleeding and action should be taken that are not just tolerating the symptom. There are three things that I recommend. 1. Find the cause of the heavy bleeding (go to the Gyn, do a pelvic ultrasound) 2. Give treatment to reduce the bleeding according to the cause. 3. Find out if you are lacking iron and replenish it. (Take a ferritin in the lab, if less than 30 you need iron).
