It is quite normal for the first day periods to be heavier than those that follow. The explanation for this is that the endometrial lining of the uterus completely sheds on day one resulting in heavy menstrual flow. With every day the amount of shedding reduces reducing to a lighter flow. Nevertheless, should you develop unusual heavy bleeding or uncommonly long periods of menstrual flows visited a gynecologist for the assessment and treatment.
