Heavy menstrual bleeding is a common condition among women, which can generally be managed by adjusting lifestyle habits and improving overall health. Paying attention to daily routines, avoiding emotional stress, and maintaining a positive mood may help reduce the occurrence of heavy menstruation. It is also important to improve physical health by exercising regularly and keeping body weight within a normal range, as these can effectively alleviate symptoms of heavy menstrual flow. Additionally, dietary habits should be carefully monitored—consuming more foods rich in vitamins and limiting oily and spicy foods can help improve the condition. Finally, if the above measures fail to relieve heavy menstrual bleeding, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly.
