From heavy bleeding and breast tenderness, to the common misconceptions and downright myths often associated with periods and fertility, one doctor breaks down the facts.
being developed here in Ireland and the fact that, across the board, women’s pain is still a largely ignored issue, it’s hugely important to be aware of and informed about the potential warning signs your body can indicate.
Dr Rahim continued by answering some common queries about menstrual health, and provided some demystifying information about those all too common period-related misconceptions…Women think they use litres and litres of blood. But actually, most women lose somewhere between 2 to 5 tablespoons in their cycle, which is on average around 30 to 50 mls of blood. Depending on the length of your cycle, you may be on the lower end of that or on the higher end. Anything above this is abnormal.
The issue with conventional iron treatment is that they often come with undesirable side effects. A lot of women complain of heartburn, constipation, and nausea. This is why I love working with Active Iron. Active Iron has really helped me when I was pregnant and struggling with my iron levels and even now. It helps avoid side effects and is so much gentler on our gut.
Yes, I do. I think the government needs to start speaking to actual women. The difficulty is that there are so many policies made for women by men that don’t have an idea of what women go through, particularly on their period. We need a wider practice in thinking about how we in the UK and Ireland can end period poverty. For example, how we can improve women’s wellness, women’s education around their periods, and indeed around women’s health.
