Interventions available during pandemics for heavy menstrual bleeding: an overview of Cochrane Reviews
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented many challenges for healthcare systems. Interventions which were routinely delivered before 2020 are now difficult to administer and it is important to identify the effectiveness of interventions that are available.
