S2 E2: When Your Period Won’t Quit: Understanding & Managing Heavy Bleeding with PCOS

Heavy periods can feel overwhelming and exhausting—especially when you’re managing PCOS. In this episode, we dive deep into why heavy bleeding happens, what your hormones are doing behind the scenes, and how common PCOS-related factors like inflammation and insulin resistance play a role. I’ll also share practical tips and natural strategies—from supplements to lifestyle tweaks—that can help reduce the flow and bring relief. Plus, I talk about my own experience trying medications like tranexamic acid and why I eventually chose surgical options like endometrial ablation (which is a better alternative to hysterectomy for many women). If you’ve ever wondered what’s normal, what’s not, and what you can do about heavy periods, this episode is for you.
