1. Unusually Heavy Periods (Menorrhagia)
If your periods are so heavy you need to change pads or tampons every hour, this could signal fibroids, polyps, or hormonal imbalances. Chronic heavy bleeding can cause anemia and fatigue, so it’s important to get evaluated.
2. Severe Menstrual Cramps
Mild cramps are common, but intense, debilitating pain that affects daily life may indicate endometriosis or adenomyosis. Pain that worsens over time is a red flag.
