Tools of data collection: Two tools were used, tool (I): A Structured interviewing questionnaire to assess demographic data, menstrual, contraceptive and family history, clinical data about menorrhagia and women's knowledge regarding menorrhagia. tool (II) women's self-care practices regarding menorrhagia to assess self-care practice of women with heavy menstrual period. Results: The study illustrated that less than one quarter of the studied women had good knowledge pre-educational guidelines while, nearly three quarter of them had good knowledge post-educational guidelines.
