In perimenopause, when is heavy bleeding TOO heavy?

The nurse who posted regarding saturating one pad or tampon per hour is essentially correct.

However, (gross alert!) my own personal experiences with perimenopause are that a pad or tampon can be saturated every 30 minutes for five days and you'll survive. I did this monthly for nearly two years and didn't even realize I was in perimenopause at the time.

Without more details regarding how often/how much you're experiencing heavy bleeding, we can't give a more definitive Answer.

If you're concerned about heavy bleeding, you may want to see your physician. He/she can verify that you're actually in perimenopause and discuss your symptoms with you.

the wall of your uterus may be too thick, and you may have to get a surgery to get rid of it, it happened to my mom and my aunt, they would have heavy bleeding for almost 3months at a time even, you may want to ask you doctor

there is no "right" answer. it is too heavy when it is abnormal for YOU. any abnormal bleeding should be investigated.
good luck.

When you are saturating one pad or tampon per hour or less, you are bleeding too heavily. You would need to see a doctor very soon (like in the ER)
