Flooding No More: Heavy Period Treatment Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe heavy menstrual bleeding and the long road to treatment. Writers describe being believed, or not: the doctors who normalised flooding, the double protection, the ruined mattresses and the days planned around bathrooms, the school and work absences that shaped a life. There are the first things tried — tranexamic acid, mefenamic acid, the combined pill — and then the coil, described in detail by people it transformed and by people who could not tolerate the insertion. Writers describe what happened when someone finally looked inside: fibroids, adenomyosis, polyps, endometrial assessment. Then the procedures: ablation, myomectomy, uterine artery embolisation and hysterectomy, each with honest accounts of recovery and regret. Later chapters cover iron infusions and the body keeping score, and the cases that never found a clean answer.

Who it's for

For anyone whose periods have been dismissed, people choosing between the coil, ablation and surgery, and readers who want to know what anaemia has been costing them.
