Why Am I Tired All the Time?

Feeling tired after a busy day, physical activity or a late night is normal. Fatigue is more persistent and may feel like having very little physical or mental energy, even after resting. Common causes include insufficient sleep, stress, irregular routines, illness and certain medicines. Ongoing fatigue can also be associated with iron deficiency, anaemia, sleep disorders, thyroid conditions, persistent pain or low mood, so it should not automatically be dismissed as laziness.

Leak Emergency? Do This

A period leak can happen at school, while travelling, during sports or even at home. It may feel embarrassing in the moment, but it is a common problem that can be handled. Learn how to cover the mark, change your period product, clean up and ask for help without shame.

Story

Heavy Flow Check

Periods naturally vary, but bleeding may be considered heavy when it lasts longer than seven days, requires very frequent period-product changes, causes repeated leaks or interferes with everyday activities. Heavy menstrual bleeding can also contribute to iron-deficiency anaemia. This EVA self-check helps you notice and describe your flow pattern, but it cannot diagnose the cause.

Story

Heavy Bleeding: When It’s Urgent

Heavy menstrual bleeding means losing enough blood during a period that it affects daily life or may cause health problems. Signs can include soaking through period products very quickly, needing double protection, waking at night to change products or bleeding for more than seven days. Heavy bleeding can sometimes lead to iron-deficiency anaemia and may occasionally be linked with a bleeding disorder.

Story

Heavy Periods and Anaemia

Heavy periods can cause the body to lose iron faster than it can replace it. Over time, iron stores may become low and iron-deficiency anaemia can develop. This may cause unusual tiredness, weakness, headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath or difficulty concentrating. A healthcare professional can assess the bleeding, arrange blood periods.

Story

How Often Should You Change a Pad?

A pad should be changed regularly even when your flow is light. As a practical guide, change a disposable pad every few hours—often around every four to six hours—and sooner when it feels full, damp, uncomfortable or begins to leak. Regular changes help you stay fresh and comfortable during your period.

Story

Clots: Normal or Not?

Small jelly-like clots can sometimes appear during a period, especially when the flow is heavier. Learn what period clots are, which clot patterns can be common and when frequent or unusually large clots may be a sign of heavy bleeding that should be checked.

Story

Puberty Changes Not to Ignore

Most puberty changes are gradual and harmless, but some patterns deserve medical attention. Development that begins unusually early or does not begin by the expected age, extremely heavy bleeding, persistent or severe pain, a new breast lump and intimate symptoms such as unusual discharge or burning should not be ignored. These signs do not automatically mean something serious is wrong they mean your body deserves a proper assessment.

Story

Period Survival for Exams

Periods can arrive during an exam, but a little preparation can make the day easier. Learn how to pack a discreet period kit, manage cramps, plan product changes and ask for a bathroom break or support when needed. Severe pain or heavy bleeding that repeatedly disrupts school deserves medical attention.

Story

Iron-Rich Meals for Heavy Periods

Heavy periods can increase iron loss and raise the risk of iron deficiency or iron-deficiency anaemia. Iron helps your body produce haemoglobin, which allows red blood cells to carry oxygen. Iron-rich meals can support your regular intake, but food alone may not correct a deficiency caused by significant blood loss. Heavy bleeding and symptoms such as persistent tiredness, weakness, breathlessness or dizziness deserve professional assessment and, when appropriate, blood tests and treatment.

Story

Iron Deficiency Risk Check

Iron helps the body make haemoglobin, which allows red blood cells to carry oxygen. Low iron or iron-deficiency anaemia can cause tiredness, weakness, headaches, dizziness and breathlessness. Heavy periods can increase iron loss, but symptoms alone cannot confirm low iron. This EVA self-check helps you notice possible risk signs and decide when to ask for medical support.

Story

When Should I Talk to a Doctor?

You do not need to know whether a body change is “serious” before asking for help. Speak with a healthcare professional when a puberty change begins unusually early or late, a symptom persists or worsens, periods become difficult to manage, or discomfort interferes with school, sleep or everyday activities. You can also book a visit simply because you have a question or need reassurance. An adolescent reproductive-health appointment often begins with conversation and education rather than an internal examination.

Story

Is My Flow Too Heavy?

Period flow can be light, moderate or heavy, and it may change from one day to another. Instead of trying to measure the exact amount of blood, learn the everyday signs of heavy bleeding—such as changing products very frequently, bleeding for more than seven days or having your period interfere with school, sleep and daily life.

Story

Why Do I Feel Dizzy?

“Dizzy” can describe different sensations. You may feel lightheaded or close to fainting, unsteady on your feet, or as though you or the room is spinning. Common triggers include dehydration, heat, standing up quickly, missing meals, illness and migraine. Repeated dizziness may also be connected to iron-deficiency anaemia, an inner-ear problem, medicine side effects or another health condition, so the exact feeling and accompanying symptoms matter.
