Contact UsWhat are Heavy and Irregular Periods?
Heavy bleeding, also called menorrhagia, during your menstrual cycle may be your body's way of telling you something is wrong. If you experience fatigue, severe cramping, anemia, blood clots, or soak through your pads or tampons every hour, you might be having heavy and irregular periods. Heavy bleeding can be caused by many factors, like unbalanced hormones, endometriosis, hypothyroidism, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and more. At Equilibrium Health Coaching, board-certified family nurse practitioner Katherine Johnson can get to the root cause of your heavy and irregular periods and offers functional nutrition consulting to help alleviate your symptoms. Call her practice in Frisco, TX to set up an appointment.
How are Heavy and Irregular Periods Treated?
After assessing your symptoms, an overview of your medical history, and diagnostic tests to determine what's causing your heavy and irregular periods, Katherine will develop a custom meal plan to help minimize the symptoms. Since heavy menstrual bleeding can lead to anemia due to losing too many red blood cells, eating iron-rich foods will be an important part of your diet plan. The iron will help to form more red blood cells, which can treat or prevent anemia. You may be instructed to eat foods containing omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce cramps. There are also foods that may help balance out hormones if your heavy periods are a result of a hormonal imbalance.
