It’s normal for menstrual flow and duration to vary somewhat from period to period. If you have a repeated, long-lasting increase in monthly flow then you should be evaluated by a doctor. About ten percent of women have heavy periods, also called “menorrhagia.” Some of the more common causes include hormone changes, thyroid problems, growths or other changes in the uterus, problems with your blood’s ability to clot, or a pelvic infection.

Almost all men will experience one or more sexual problems at some point in their life. Fortunately, many of these problems will improve on their own over a short period of time.
