Who knew discussing periods could be so enlightening?

You'll never see menstrual health the same way again after tuning in to this powerful conversation with Dr Talat Uppal, an obstetrician-gynecologist specialising in heavy menstrual bleeding.

Dr Uppal helps us break down the wall of silence surrounding menstrual health, sharing her extensive knowledge on what constitutes heavy bleeding and how it impacts a woman's life. Opening up about periods is not just liberating—it's necessary.

Talat also guides us through a range of solutions, from medications to surgical options, and even lifestyle adjustments. We touch on the importance of maintaining a good diet, especially during perimenopause, and the role of iron infusions.

Finally, we wrap things up with a much-needed discussion on support for women suffering from heavy periods. Talat shares some rather shocking statistics and emphasises the importance of prioritizing women's health.

We also explore how perimenopause can affect heavy bleeding and Talat is championing the idea of a recognised Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Day because she believes in breaking taboos and supporting women.
