I have had a heavy period with clots for three weeks. What to do?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Having heavy bleeding for three weeks is really painful and tiring. I want you to know one thing: endometriosis can only be suppressed by taking contraceptive pills continuously. For now, you can take tablet Deviry (Medroxyprogesterone) 10 mg thrice daily for a week, followed by twice daily for the next week. Then, follow it for another week by taking it once daily and then stop taking it.

Why are my periods irregular?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. After menarche till 18 years of age, our body will be adjusting to the hormonal changes and HPO (hypothalamic pituitary ovarian axis) axis will be maturing till 18 years of age. Hence, irregular periods are common during this period. In your case, your BMI (body mass index) is high and you seem to be obese on considering your height.

I have irregular period with severe bleeding and stomach pain. Please help.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Please tell me, when did you attain menarche? Have your periods been irregular always? If yes, tell me your cycle length. Are you married? Any children? Are you taking any other medications? When were your last periods? When was this ultrasound done? According to scan reports your endometrium is thick (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You need to understand diagnostic as well as therapeutic curettage.

My regular menstrual cycle is disturbed for the past 2 months. What should I do to regularize it?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Normal age for menopause is 42 to 52 years during which menses become irregular with excessive bleeding sometimes. So in your case, you might be transiting into menopause. However, if you have excessive bleeding during menses then take tablet Pause MF (Tranexamic acid and Mefenamic acid) three times daily if bleeding is heavy.
