Welcome to HCM
I appreciate your health concern for your friend
The symptoms you are describing are not very uncommon.This does happen sometimes.Tell her to take a painkiller like acetaminophen twice which stops the pain and also decreases the amount of bleed.
If she keep on bleeding heavily or experiences same symptoms in next cycle,you can take her to gynecologist then
Stay healthy
