I am a 22-year-old typist. I usually bleed a lot during my monthly periods sometimes using three packets of sanitary pads for just three days of menstruation. Kindly let me know what to do as I am always weak during my menses due to loss of blood.

Your heavy menstrual flow (Menorrhagia) could be due to several reasons ranging from hormone imbalance, dysfunction of the ovaries, uterine fibroids, polyps, adenomyosis, as well as cancer. In view of this, your best bet is to see your doctor, who will most likely ask about your medical history and menstrual cycles. You may be asked to keep a diary of bleeding and nonbleeding days, including notes on how heavy your flow was and how much sanitary protection you needed to control it. Furthermore, your doctor will order for some physical examinations and Laboratory tests to establish the cause of your ailment as well as the treatment for it.
