Your period is a vital sign of your overall well-being, not just a monthly routine you have to endure. Take 60 seconds to perform this quick menstrual Health Check to see if your cycle falls within a healthy medical range.
The 60-Second Checklist
- Cycle Length: Is your cycle consistently between 21 and 35 days (counting from the first day of bleeding to the day before your next period)?
- Bleeding Duration: Does your active bleeding last between 2 and 7 days?
- Flow Volume: Are you soaking through a pad or tampon in less than two hours, or passing blood clots larger than a 50-cent coin?
- Pain Levels: Does your period pain force you to call in sick, skip social activities, or resist standard over-the-counter painkillers?
What Your Answers Mean
- If your cycle falls outside these standard timeframes, or if you answered “yes” to the flow and pain questions, your body is signalling that something requires medical attention.
- Heavy bleeding, extreme pain, or missing periods are often primary symptoms of treatable conditions like Endometriosis, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), or uterine fibroids.
- You do not simply have to tolerate debilitating symptoms, assuming it is “just a normal part of life.”
The Next Step
- Our GPs provide compassionate, thorough investigations to find the root cause of your symptoms.
- We can arrange specific blood tests to check your hormone levels and refer you for pelvic ultrasounds.
- We will work with you to build a medical management plan to help restore your quality of life.
