Dare to Wear White-ladies, this post is for you

Ladies, we are going to have a very important talk today, about a topic that none of us really wants to discuss in detail. Gentlemen readers, you are welcome to stay, your wife or girlfriend might benefit from the information in this post. Okay? Everybody ready?
Today we are going to talk about our periods. Menstruation. Monthly cycle. Whatever you are comfortable calling it. For most of us, it’s a few days a month of taking care of ourselves and our hygiene, and then we are done. But for many women, their monthly period is a time of such a heavy flow, they almost can’t leave the house. My Aunt Stephanie had periods like that when she was my Mom’s college roommate (yes, my Dad married his sister’s college roommate!). I remember my Mom telling me that Aunt Stephanie had to wear two pads at a time and change them a lot.
The Dare to Wear White website was created as a place for women to get information as well as share their stories about what life is like for a woman who has heavy periods. And though I know this is not a topic one usually finds on blogs, I felt it was important to get the word out that there is help available. The website is sponsored by NovaSure, which is a treatment procedure called Endometrial Ablation performed by a doctor:
For this last option, NovaSure Endometrial Ablation is the leading choice with more than 500,000 patients successfully treated. The NovaSure procedure is a quick, safe, simple, one-time endometrial ablation treatment. This minimally invasive procedure controls heavy bleeding by using energy to remove the lining of the uterus. The procedure takes about 4 ½ minutes, and only needs to be performed once to lighten or stop your periods. No pretreatment is necessary; it can be performed any time during your cycle, and most women resume their normal activities within 24-48 hours.
The Dare to Wear White website has links to have a brochure mailed to you, download a discussion guide to use when speaking to your doctor, and also a link to find a physician in your area who does the treatment. You do not have to structure your life around your heavy period. I know this post sounds like a commercial, but this treatment could really help somebody, so I am spreading the word. It was NOT a sponsored post.
Also, if you have a friend or family member that you know has heavy periods, please show them the Dare to Wear White website, or have a brochure sent to their house. We don’t have to be embarrassed about it, it’s a biological thing we can’t control, but we can have this quick NovaSure procedure so we can get on with our lives. Thanks for reading.
