A member asked:
During my last cycle, my period was very heavy on the 1st day, but this month it was back to normal. should i check for fibroids, polyps, ets?

I would: certainly NOT let a single period with some heavy bleeding or even two....push you into major diagnostic testing etc. I would check your iron level since iron deficiency is a common CAUSE of increased menstrual bleeding Hope this helps Dr Z
