On this episode of Vi-Voice, we got an opportunity with Dr. Rizwan Malik; Reproductive Endocrinologist & Infertility Specialist to talk about a topic that affects nearly one in three women in Pakistan, yet almost nobody talks about it openly: heavy uterine bleeding. We covered what actually counts as "heavy" (hint: if you're changing more than 5 pads a day or your cycle keeps showing up every two weeks, that's your body asking for attention), why it looks different at every stage of life from the teenage years right through to menopause, and what's really driving the numbers up in Pakistan, from diet and stress to women having children later.
Dr. Rizwan also walked us through the most common underlying causes, from hormonal imbalances to fibroids and polyps, and how early diagnosis changes everything. The biggest takeaway? Silence is the real complication. Women delay treatment because this still feels like a taboo subject, and that delay is what quietly costs them their energy, their time with family, and sometimes their health.
