Description

Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), the new menorrhagia, is a common but nonetheless challenging presenting complaint seen in general practice. The symptom and its impact on the woman’s life is often very subjective, and there exist many myths and mistaken beliefs as to what is normal and how heavy periods should be managed that sees many women suffer needlessly. In this very practical discussion, Dr Marita Long and Dr Talat Uppal will focus on working through the popular management myths and misperceptions in GP, with the aim of improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
