| researchers recruited women between ages 30 and 50 who had reported either heavy menstrual bleeding for at least 7 days per month or anemia because of heavy bleeding. After reporting lifestyle information and daily water drinking habits, the women collected and froze first-morning urine samples for the duration of 2-9 menstrual cycles and kept a daily diary to record, among other items, timing of menstrual bleeding (menses). Women who have unusually heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding often undergo a hysterectomy to eliminate the bleeding. |
