Consult a doctor for heavy periods and dizziness

Health expert Dr. O'Donovan advises individuals experiencing heavy periods, bloating, and dizziness to consult a doctor. These symptoms may indicate uterine fibroids, which are common non-cancerous growths affecting many women. Fibroids can cause various symptoms, including painful periods, abdominal pain, and frequent urination. While many women may not experience symptoms, those who do should seek medical advice to identify potential underlying issues. Dr. O'Donovan explains that fibroids can grow slowly and may shrink after menopause. He categorizes fibroids based on their location in the womb and emphasizes the importance of consulting a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.
