I'm going through the menopause and I haven't had a period for nearly 2 years. Yesterday, my period returning. It's extremely heavy - is such a flow dangerous?

This can happen and it is often be caused by things such as a 'last fling' by your hormones, stress, illness, strenuous exercise, dieting, or a change of diet - especially if you've improved it

It is usually nothing to worry about, however, it is best to get it checked out by your doctor as well
