Heavy menstrual flow affects millions of women at different times in their lives, especially in the menopause transition (premenopause) but also during women's active reproductive years. Abnormal bleeding or spotting can even occur in the menopause due to cancer or abnormal growth of the uterine lining. Other common causes include premenopause, endometrial hyperplasia, uterine cancer, fibroid tumors and endometriosis. In Be Heavy and Irregular Menstruation Free! Susan M. Lark M.D. not only discusses the causes, symptoms, and diagnoses of heavy and irregular bleeding but shares with the reader her powerful patient tested, all natural treatment program designed to heal this issue. Each year 650,000 women in the United States undergo hysterectomies, many due to heavy menstrual bleeding. While some women clearly need this procedure, a large percentage of women could totally avoid surgery if the underlying causes of the problems were treated. According to Dr. Lark, "I have found that many women can prevent, or at least minimize, heavy and irregular menstruation through powerful alternative therapies. In Be Heavy and Irregular Menstruation Free!, I share with you the effective and successful all natural treatment program that I developed for my patients. In my book, I discuss the causes and symptoms of this health condition as well as how to diagnose heavy and irregular menstruation medically.

I have developed recipes, meal plans, and menus as well as meditations, stress reduction therapies and even a powerful and enjoyable stretching program customized to help promote hormone balance and healthy menstruation. I share this extremely valuable and beneficial information with you in this book.
