For 31 year old Holly Pardue, what was diagnosed as a response to stress and hormone, turned out to be a life threatening disease.
The mom of three sought medical help after persistently bleeding for six weeks, following the birth of her third child. The doctor recommended her contraceptive pills and "she was told it was likely due to 'stress and hormones' and advised her to 'get better nights' sleep' and 'go for some walks'," the Daily Mail reported.
