When Should You Seek Medical Attention for Heavy Menstrual Bleeding?
Women should seek medical attention if they experience menstrual bleeding that is heavy enough to soak through one or more pads or tampons every hour for several consecutive hours, if they need to use double sanitary protection, or if menstrual bleeding lasts more than seven days. Additionally, any symptoms of anemia, such as fatigue, dizziness, or shortness of breath, warrant a consultation with a healthcare provider.
