There are some women who have a very heavy menstrual flow, and it is accompanied by severe cramps. Not all women have this (in fact, most do not); but those who do are often very uncomfortable and it impacts their quality of life. The causes for it vary-- in some cases, it is genetic and other women in the family have had it. But in other cases, there are certain medical conditions and syndromes that can cause excessively heavy bleeding during the period.

The good news is that while a heavy period and menstrual cramps can be aggravating, it tends to be treatable. You should visit a gynecologist, who will examine you and find out what is causing your symptoms. The doctor may then be able to prescribe something to regulate your menstrual flow and help you to feel better.
