Heavy Menstrual Bleeding in Adolescents Should Never Be Dismissed as “Just a Normal Period” – ICHCC
Iranian Comprehensive Hemophilia Care Center (ICHCC) shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Heavy menstrual bleeding in adolescents should never be dismissed as ‘just a normal period.’
It may be one of the earliest signs of an underlying bleeding disorder and can lead to iron deficiency, anemia, fatigue, reduced concentration, school absence, and a significant decline in quality of life.
Menstrual bleeding lasting more than seven days, frequent flooding, changing menstrual products every two hours or less, passing large clots, or having a personal or family history of abnormal bleeding should prompt further evaluation.
Early recognition, assessment of iron status, and timely referral to gynecology and hematology services can prevent years of delayed diagnosis and unnecessary suffering.
At the Iranian Comprehensive Hemophilia Care Center, we believe that listening carefully to menstrual history is an essential part of identifying women and girls with bleeding disorders.”
