    Heavy menstrual flow
    My menstrual flow has ALWAYS been either a normal flow or a low one. For the past few months I've been having a REALLY heavy flow... I want to know if this is normal or OK to change all of a sudden.. :confused:

    Sometimes it can depend on your age... are you starting the menopause for instance,best thing to do is seek medical advice from your Doctor.

    Hi again Jesse.. obviously not the menopause

    Probably nothing to worry about, do you generally feel OK in yourself... are you feeling tired,or having any pain?

    Maybe you have an internal contraception device, this can sometimes cause heavier periods.

    It could just be your hormones... go see your Doctor, he'll check everythings as it should be and it will set your mind at rest.
