It’s not an easy topic, but one that is all too real for many women. However if you experience a heavy period each month, you are not alone because 1 in 5 women have been reported to suffer from the same thing. You may wonder if what you have is considered “heavy” so here are some ways to gauge it:
• Lasts a long time
• Is so heavy that you need to change pads or tampons every 1 to 2 hours
• Is so heavy that you often have a tampon AND a pad for more protection
• Is so heavy that you have to change pads at night
This can negatively affect your quality of life to the point that you are missing work or other activities, experiencing moodiness, altering your sex life, or just feeling down about things in general. While you may feel that there is nothing to be done about such a heavy cycle, you might be glad to discover that you are wrong. For women with heavy periods who have completed childbearing, there is a non-hormonal, one-time minimally invasive procedure that typically takes less than five minutes to complete and can eliminate heavy periods – the NovaSure® Endometrial Ablation System. The NovaSure procedure has helped more than 650,000 women since it was first introduced in 2002. Now NovaSure has launched the Dare To Wear White campaign. Check out their website here, where you can ask questions, share stories and see that you are really not alone. Furthermore there is a solution.
Another thing you can do is take this survey. The first 250 eligible women (i.e. those who have heavy periods and are finished having children) who complete our short simple survey, will receive a $10 Amazon gift certificate as a thank you for their participation. So go! Check out these links, find other women like you, share your story, and get some information about a solution. What have you got to lose? It seems to me like the freedom to wear white any day of the month is worth looking into.
