Why do I have such a heavy menstrual cycle?

A heavy period can cause a lot of discomfort during that time of the month. It’s a hormonal problem. Let’s look at the common remedies for this.

Cause #1: Estrogen dominance

Too much estrogen can cause a lot of problems during the period, including cramping, long periods and other period-related issues. We need estrogen for normal functioning of the body, but if there’s too much you can get heavy periods and have other issues. Many people already have high estrogen due to the number of foods that contain chemicals that mimic estrogen.
