Why does it take women several years to seek help for heavy periods?

In this first episode of Fiercely Well, Dr Kafa Lee sits down with obstetrician and gynaecologist A/Prof Talat Uppal, founder of Women's Health Road and Bleed Better, for an honest look at menstrual literacy and why so many women normalise symptoms that shouldn't be normal.

They cover the four pillars of abnormal uterine bleeding, why non-hormonal treatment options are so underused, the surprising links between iron deficiency and outcomes in the next generation, and why endometrial cancer rates are on the rise.

Part clinical, part personal, this conversation is a reminder that you don't have to accept a substandard quality of life.
