Menstrual bleeding ?: Heavy menstrual flow can be hormonal or possibly by fibroids/polyps/ even pregnancy. Over time, this bleeding will cause anemia, which brings on fatique and lack of energy. Ask your gyn physician for an exam and discussion about low dose oral bcp's, which can reduce cramping and bleeding significantly.
