Does A Heavy Period Mean A Normal Haemoglobin Level?
My iron levels and hemoglobin have been diagnosed as being low. I have been taking 3iron pills a day for last three months. My period is super heavy this month so I was wondering if that could be due to my iron and hemoglobin going back up to normal range

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Normal hemoglobin level does not cause heavy periods.
2. Usually abnormal hormone levels possibly leading to endometrial hyperplasia is commoner one leading to heavy periods.
3. If it repeats, get a endometrial biopsy done.
Continue iron pills. Normal hemoglobin does not lead to heavy periods. If it repeats, meet your doctor for biopsy.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
