Hi XXXXXXX
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic.
I have gone through your query.
I think I have understood your concern, I will try to suggest you the best possible treatment options.
1) First of all do not panic.
2)I agree that it is abnormal really to have such a heavy bleeding.
I would like to know -
If you are sexually active, then was there use contraceptive method on the previous month?
If so please get mornings first sample of urine tested for pregnancy.
3) If there is no concern about it, then I will suggest you the following :-
- please get prescription from your physician for a tablet containing Tranexamic acid and Mefenamic acid.You can safely take one tablet 3 times a day for 3 to 5 days till bleeding gets controlled.
- Start consuming plenty of liquids, water , fruit juices to overcome fluid loss and gain energy.
- It will be a good idea to get USG done. This will help to know if there is any structural uterine problem as a cause of this bleeding.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you good health.
With regards
