❓Did you know about International Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Day?
â• Now in its third year, IHMB Day on 11 May aims to raise awareness of the need for better management of heavy periods, and to address its impacts on health and quality of life.
âť—Living with heavy periods is not "just one of those things" or "just part of being a woman".
âť—Heavy periods can affect physical health, work, education, social life, everyday activities, and mental and emotional wellbeing.
âť—Numerous women with bleeding disorders have told us about their experiences of heavy menstrual bleeding, and we understand just how disruptive and debilitating it can be.
♥️ Individualised care relevant to different life stages can make a huge difference.
