Summary

This study looked at women and girls aged 12 to 40 with heavy menstrual bleeding to see if they also have joint hypermobility (loose joints). Researchers wanted to find out if these two issues together might point to an underlying connective tissue disorder. The study was stopped early, but it aimed to improve understanding of these conditions.
