My periods are heavy and painful. I have to use 5 to 6 pads a day. Doctor please tell me is it normal to use 5 pads a day?

There is no exact answer to this question because menstrual flow and the number of pads you need depends on various factors and conditions. A rough estimate suggest that four to five pads a day can be used and it won't be considered abnormal, assuming that you are having a 7 hours of sleep at night.
