What to do if you have heavy menstrual bleeding

Women are prone to dysmenorrhea during menstruation. Because people have different physiques, the symptoms of menstruation for each woman are different. Some people have very little menstrual blood and their menstruation ends in about three days. Some people not only have a lot of blood, but also have a long menstrual period. It is not normal to have too much menstrual blood, and it is easy to leak sideways. So what is the reason for heavy menstrual blood?

1. Supplement 18 mg of iron every day. Beef, fish, and pork contain large amounts of iron, while whole grains, beans, oats, and dark green vegetables also contain small amounts of iron.

Here is a little secret: cooking in an iron pan can also help you absorb more iron; remember to eat it with foods high in vitamin C, such as tomatoes, oranges, and tangerines, to help the body absorb it.

Do not take iron supplements without authorization. Iron supplements need to be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
