For anyone interested in women's health, HMB, iron or paediatrics this supplement was a great read. Thanks to @FIGOHQ for supporting awareness of the impact of iron deficiency. This is a global health problem that society and doctors largely ignore. figo.org/news/new-ijgo-suppl…

I wasn't involved in that work from @FIGOHQ but delighted to contribute to their new statement on HMB and the link to iron deficiency - hopefully this will reframe perceptions, please share widely! figo.org/resources/figo-stat…

Just your regular reminder that if an adolescent patient tells you their periods are “fine” it’s a good idea to ask some more questions.

At our October Conference we provided free period products, including Tampax and Always products. This was thanks to @MeaghersPharmcy. We also included a useful infographic from Know Your Flow which includes information about what makes a heavy period. @sortoutbleeding

As a hematologist who cares for "carriers" I often don't get involved until they are pregnant... when they've often spent years with abnormal bleeding that could have been addressed. Getting a diagnosis and looping folks into care early should be a priority!

Heavy periods, also known as heavy menstrual bleeding (#HMB), are a common symptom of a bleeding disorder. If you have any of these signs of HMB, a bleeding disorder might be the reason behind your heavy periods. For more info on #BloodDisorders: bit.ly/3Mg9Sl5.

Remember, everyone may have a different "normal", so be sure to ask about menstrual bleeding in detail.
