Answer: My periods have been heavy lately

Step-by-step explanation:

Tamoxifen is referred to as a form of hormonal therapy that is called selective estrogen receptor modulator. When tamoxifen is inside the cells, it then prevents cancer from multiplying and growing.

Tamoxifen is typically associated with the increase in the risk of the person having endometrial cancer which has a symptom of excessive menstrual bleeding.
