A member asked:
If a period is late or missed when it actually comes will it be more painful and heavier than usual?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Period: Yes, it can be because the uterus would have been under the influence of hormones for a longer period of time and therefore, there are more tissues to shed and it is expected to be heavier and may be more painful
