MENSTRUAL
HEALTH
Women often deal with period problems, yet many don’t realise they should discuss these issues with their healthcare practitioner.
We often accept discomfort as a normal part of being a woman and think it’s something we must endure. For example, if you have painful periods, you might just take a painkiller. Struggling with infertility or heavy bleeding, you might tell yourself it’s not very important.
But what if these "normal" pains are actually signs of something more? Something that’s holding us back from living life to the fullest?
That’s why WOMEN | Bayer is here – to illuminate the truth about what "normal" really is in Women’s Health.

It might not seem like it, but these issues are more common than you realise and often get dismissed as just being a "normal" part of being a woman – rather than something that significantly impacts our lives.

Severe period pain isn’t a part of being a woman – it’s a condition called dysmenorrhea, with treatment options.
Changing period products every 2 hours could be a sign of heavy menstrual bleeding – a condition with treatment options.
