Many women experience heavy periods at the beginning and then after a 2-3 days it eases off a bit. In my opinion if you need to change your sanitary towel every hour because of the heavy flow, then you may want to make an appointment with a gynaecologist just to make sure that everything is ok.

6. Fullness or tenderness around the abdomen

Normally around the beginning of a period the area around your abdomen feels extremely sensitive and tender. In most cases you tend to find that after the first day or couple of days this sensation disappears. If it does not, or you feel that it is becoming worse, a thorough examination could be for the best.

5. Light-headedness

Often during your period you are likely to feel a tiny bit light headed; this is only natural due to the blood loss. If, however, you feel extremely faint or do pass out during your period then you should again make an appointment with a doctor or a specialist. In my opinion it is best to make sure that everything is ok, it may turn out to be that you are slightly anaemic.
