Heavy Menstruation
Posted: 09-24-03 17:43pm

Is there anything a person can take to reduce flow of heavy menstruation.

I am a nurse and I where white, and you probably understand my dilemma. 8. I might need to also add that I am currently on birth control and it only helps seemingly for the onset of my cycle and suddenly I go into overflow.

Get on the pill. My co-worker had the same problem and she is alot older so he had her get back on the pill to regulate her periods and make them lighter. Talk to your doc about it. Good luck!

What kind of birth control pills are you taking? Maybe you could ask your doctor for a pill that is more likely to control your periods. The one you are taking now may not be doing anything for your period, maybe not strong enough or something ?

I just went to my doctor for that very reason not a month goes by that I dont mess on myself at work and have to go home early.So I had a pelvic exam and have cyst so you may want to have a more thorough exam to make sure you are not having more serious problems good luck

Yeah, talk to your doctor about switching pills. A different kind of b/c pill should reduce your flow.
