Heavy menstrual bleeding

摘要

Heavy menstrual bleeding has a significant impact on women's lives. Approximately 25% of female consultations in general practice surround this area and heavy menstrual bleeding has a significant impact on quality of life. Women tend not to seek advice from GPs because they feel like it is something that is an accepted part of life and they continue suffering with it. It is well established that those who think that it is just a normal part of life may have significant heavy bleeding. In simple terms, you can assess how bad the impact is on their lives by asking questions about their social history, impact upon work and family, if they're getting tired, using a lot of sanitary wear, soiling their underwear or bed sheets or mattresses.
