Any discomfort that interferes with quality of life should be evaluated, says specialist; abnormal uterine bleeding affects around 40% of women worldwide<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Menstruation is often associated with pain, discomfort<\/a><\/strong> and limitations. Because it is a natural process of the female body during the reproductive years, many women live with these discomforts without seeking medical help. \u201cEven with access to information, it is not uncommon for women to experience a reduced quality of life during their menstrual period, whether due to severe cramps<\/a><\/strong>, physical exhaustion, or heavy flow. \u201dAlthough it is a common physiological process, understanding the symptoms is essential for women to be able to maintain their routine while feeling well,\u201d explains Morgana Domingues, a gynecologist and breast specialist trained at UNIFESP and a consultant for Biolab Farmac\u00eautica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In most cases, hormonal fluctuations are the main cause of these discomforts. The menstrual cycle<\/a><\/strong>, which can last from 21 to 35 days, involves different phases in a woman's body. It is during the premenstrual period that the most intense symptoms usually appear, due to a drop in the hormones estrogen and progesterone<\/a><\/strong>. \u201cSelf-awareness is a fundamental tool. The way each woman experiences and manages her cycle is unique, so it\u2019s important to track all the phases to identify which symptoms appear and when. That way, you can seek medical help and find the treatment that best suits your situation,\u201d advises Morgana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another factor worth noting is heavy menstrual flow, which can progress to more serious conditions<\/a><\/strong>. The condition known as abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) affects about 40% of women worldwide, according to the Brazilian Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics Associations (Febrasgo). The specialist points out that determining the exact volume of bleeding can be difficult, but one indicator is how often the patient needs to change her pad or menstrual cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn a cycle considered normal, the blood loss<\/a><\/strong> ranges from about 70 to 80 ml. In cases of heavy bleeding, this volume can double. Signs that a patient may notice include leakage onto her clothing, as well as having to change sanitary pads excessively often within a short period of time\u20142 to 3 hours. The need to change pads at night and the passage of large clots are also warning signs. In addition, it is important to note how many days the menstrual period lasts. According to Febrasgo, bleeding should not exceed eight days. Excessive blood loss leads to iron deficiency<\/a><\/strong> \u201dand, consequently, to anemia, which is characterized by constant fatigue and other health effects,\" the doctor warns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when is it actually time to seek help? Morgana emphasizes that any discomfort that interferes with a woman\u2019s quality of life should be evaluated. \u201cIn milder cases, the doctor may recommend physical activity within the body\u2019s limits, in addition to the use of anti-inflammatory drugs<\/a><\/strong>. Treatment with hormonal contraceptives also yields good results; some are even indicated in their package inserts for reducing abnormal uterine bleeding, such as a four-phase regimen and the use of IUDs<\/a><\/strong>\u201d, explains the gynecologist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morgana highlights the importance of access to information and treatment options tailored to each patient\u2019s individual circumstances. \u201cRespecting the pace of each phase and addressing their needs doesn\u2019t have to mean suffering. Today, women have the tools to maintain autonomy over decisions involving their bodies, seeking alternatives that offer comfort and well-being during all phases of the menstrual cycle,\u201d she says.
