Heavy Menstrual Bleeding - breaking silence and stigma

Many women struggle to manage their menstrual health for various conditions including Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (HMB). HMB can often be a condition that is ignored, or it can be a sign of an underlying condition that women are uninformed about and for which women should be offered appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

The Menstrual Health Coalition’s work has focused on pathway and best practice for HMB. Throughout engagement with stakeholders, clinicians, patient groups and patients, it became apparent that this was an area that required further scrutiny and discussion, to push menstrual health up the agenda and increase the profile of this condition with the public, parliamentarians and policy makers.

The MHC began its inquiry in mid-2019, and published the report on Tuesday 3rd March 2020.
