What can be done to manage a heavy bleeding of seven days?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have a question regarding my period. It lasts up to seven days. My period is heavy the entire time. And, I spot on the last two days. What can I do to make my period shorter?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern. If your cycles are regular, then it should not be a problem. Secondly, periods cannot end abruptly. It resolves slowly. Your BMI (body mass index) is appropriate. If your periods are heavy, you may consult an obstetrician and gynecologist for a prescription of oral contraceptive pills which will, in addition to giving you contraception, will also help to make the flow light.

Thank you.
