How to control prolonged periods with heavy bleeding that does not stop?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

Did you get your period on time or was it overdue? If overdue, then check serum beta hCG (blood pregnancy test). If the blood pregnancy test is negative then for heavy periods you can have tablet Ponstan 500 milligrams and tablet Tranexamic acid 500 milligrams eight hours once for three to five days to reduce bleeding. You can take the same medications for two to five days to reduce heavy bleeding.

If the pregnancy test is negative and the bleeding gets reduced after medications it is better to have a transvaginal scan, thyroid function test, and complete blood count. Collect your reports and discuss them here or with a gynecologist. I suggest you follow the instructions mentioned below:

1. Take tablet Norethisterone from day four to day 26 of your menstrual cycle for three cycles to regulate your menstrual periods.
2. Have iron supplements.
3. Have a nutritious diet that consists of carrots and apples.

Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them, and take medications with their consent.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.
