A member asked:

When is a heavy period a problem?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Heavy period: Periods that are bright red in character and exceed 3 pads in 30 minutes needs immediate MD attention as that is hemorrhage.(not a period). Long term heavy periods can also cause a low blood level (anemia).
