@elevatemd: Replying to: @OB-GYN | Women’s Health If you’ve ever been told your heavy periods are “normal”… THIS VIDEO IS FOR YOU! Many of us have gone to our OB’s complaining about heavy, painful periods… but 99% of the time we are told this is perfectly normal, or we are just offered birth control without any further concern or explanation. 🫠 If you’ve ever soaked through a pad in under an hour, passed clots the size of quarters, or felt like your period was actively ruining your life… that is not something you should just push through. But this is something that we see in so many of our perimenopause patients! Heavy bleeding during perimenopause is incredibly common, and it’s usually tied back to a few key things… ☑️ Low progesterone (this is often the first hormone to decline) ☑️ Estrogen dominance relative to progesterone ☑️ Fibroids or polyps ☑️ Chronic anemia & low ferritin from ongoing blood loss Heavy or abnormal bleeding is never something to just “deal with”... it is something that needs to be investigated. And if it goes unaddressed long enough, it can absolutely tank your iron stores and literally suck the life out of you one period at a time! 😩 🩺 If you’re in the US and you’re curious about getting comprehensive labs to actually understand what’s going on with your cycle, go to the 🔗 in my bio to book a free 30-minute call with my team to get started! #perimenopause #hormonehealth #hormonalimbalance #womenover30 #womenover40
