• A normal period is anything that can last from one to maximum five days. It has to be bleeding which is controlled. There should be no flooding, no clotting, there should be no pain. • This Women's Health Week (2 – 6 September), Eastern Health Head of Gynaecology, Dr Virochana Kaul explains how feeling pain has been normalised among women. • Pain in the pelvic region can be caused by myriad of reasons from endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, heavy periods, fibroids, polycystic ovaries and recurrent ovarian torsion. • Dr Kaul notes how pelvic related pain and heavy periods can also lead to greater complications if not attended to sooner.
