<p>The Government welcomes work to raise awareness of heavy menstrual bleeding. Tackling
stigma and taboos is an important part of improving women’s health and specific aspects
such as heavy menstrual bleeding.</p><p> </p><p>It is of course critical that both
patients and clinicians have access to appropriate information. NHS England advises
that any woman who is experiencing pain, or discomfort due to heavy menstrual bleeding
should seek advice from a general practitioner (GP) as a first course of action. Advice
for this is available on nhs.uk, where you can undertake a quick ‘Heavy period self-assessment’,
which can advise on simple steps that may help, as well as speaking to a GP.</p><p>
</p><p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has produced a guideline
on assessment and treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding, which was published in March
2018.</p>
