What Causes Frequent Menstruation And Physical Stress?
Question: Dear Sir,
My wife, Sajeena - aged 31 had severe multiple periods within in a frequency of 15-20 days. She had physical stress during these days due to household work. We consulted a Gynec, who prescribed for 'Trenaxa MF' (Tranexamic Acid & Mefenamic acid tablet) and suggested to take this during the starting of her period henceforth. We asked if this tablet shall substitute as contraceptive - and she told 'Yes'. Would request your advise, if this pill can be taken as a contraceptive and side effects associated with this. Also advise on the dosage and timings of taking this pill.
Thanks, XXXX.
