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.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
