heavy flow
Strong period bleeding
Heavy flow describes an unusually abundant menstrual period—one requiring frequent pad or tampon changes: I always have a heavy flow the first two days.
The phrase appears in advertising for absorbent products and in medical contexts discussing menorrhagia.
Outside menstruation, heavy flow describes any substantial movement of liquid: heavy flow of water through the pipes.
