10 Cyst Symptoms
Heavy Periods
Losing more than 60-80ml of blood during a period or a period lasting over seven days would define a heavy menstrual cycle. Sudden heavy periods may result from normal hormonal fluctuations. They could also indicate an underlying health condition, such as an ovarian cyst.
Other causes of heavy periods are fibroids. These noncancerous growths of the muscle tissue of the uterus can cause heavy periods and may also be painful.
