Part 2 -Conversation about Periods and Perimenopause with Consultant O&G Mrs Muoka
Send us a text
We continue our conversation...
Heavy menstrual bleeding can significantly impact a woman's life. In our recent podcast episode, Mrs Muoka and I explored various treatment options, from hormonal therapies like the pill and Mirena coil to surgical interventions. Surprisingly, the Mirena coil not only helps reduce heavy periods but also serves as an effective contraceptive. However, patience is key, as it may take several months to experience its full benefits.
