What causes dizziness during menstruation?
Disease description:
I’ve had my period these past few days, but I’ve been experiencing severe dizziness. The dizziness significantly improves once my period ends. I’m concerned that it might be due to heavy menstrual bleeding. Could you please explain why dizziness occurs during menstruation?

Hello, dizziness during menstruation is often associated with several factors:
- Patients with pre-existing anemia may experience dizziness or lightheadedness during their menstrual period—or these symptoms may worsen.
- Uterine fibroids—particularly when large in size or numerous—can cause excessive menstrual bleeding, leading to anemia and subsequent dizziness.
We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
