quality of life
Menstruation may be a source of inconvenience to women in general, but is significantly more so for women with excessive blood loss. Heavy and prolonged menstrual bleeding has a major influence on these women's lifestyle and employment. These women may have diminished quality of life relating to constant fatigue from iron deficiency anaemia, avoidance of activities both at work and with family members: some women suffer from depression and many women have pain during their menstrual periods and at times of ovulation.
