My sister is on her period and she s been hurting so bad she was on the floor in a ball crying. She can t tell if it s her back or stomach that hurts. The color of her blood at first was a dark dark brown almost black, now its and Orange red color, it s really heavy and she doesn t know if it s normal or if she needs to go see a doctor. Could you tell me what you think she should do?

Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.


Its normal to have pain and cramps. She should take Ibuprofen 800 mg three times a day in the days of menstrual periods only. It will resolve her issue properly.


Heavy bleeding as you told, needs an appointment with gynecologist, who will rule out the cause if any.

Hope I answered all of your questions. In future, if you need further, detailed and quick assistance on any health issue, feel free to click on 'Ask me a question' directly from my profile. Have a wonderful time ahead.
