Question: what does it mean when my period is heavier than normal?
Answer: Conditions like PCOS and an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) can affect your hormone production. Hormonal changes can make your uterine lining thicken more than usual, leading to heavier periods. Fibroids or polyps. These noncancerous growths in the uterus can cause bleeding that's heavier than normal.
