Welcome to Peri Menopause Power, where we dive deep into the transformative journey of perimenopause and midlife.
In this episode, we are chatting with Dr Talat Uppal of Women’s Health Road to discuss women's health, focusing on heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB).
We reveal some shocking statistics on HMB prevalence and how it impacts the quality of life for many women. Dr. Talat provides a comprehensive definition of HMB, highlights red flags and common misconceptions about period experiences, and explains how society and familial norms can perpetuate the normalisation of severe symptoms.
She outlines the varied causes and symptoms, particularly during perimenopause, and stresses the importance of individualised diagnosis and treatment plans. Dr. Talat also discusses the various treatment options, ranging from medications and intrauterine devices (like a mirena) to surgical procedures, and emphasises the need for women to be proactive about their health.
The episode features insights into Dr. Talat's not--for-profit, 'Bleed Better', and its efforts in raising awareness through the International Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Day. We encourage you to connect with these resources to better manage your health journey.
