What should I do if my menstrual flow is heavy?

A woman's menstruation basically comes every month when she is not pregnant. But when she reaches old age and goes through menopause, her menstruation will no longer come. Don’t think that menstruation is a trouble. In fact, menstruation is very beneficial to women’s health. However, many women in life seem to have irregular menstruation. Maybe the menstrual flow is very large every time. What should we do?

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.

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

2. In addition, if you want to improve the symptoms of excessive menstrual flow, you should adjust before and after menstruation!
