I am 19 years old girl. I had my first period when I was 13 years old. From then I never had a regular cycle.I consulted to the doctors.They said it is quite common as my aunt from father s side also had same problem.So it may come by genetically.But from last one month I am having continuous period.Like some day 2 drop some day like thin thread and some day there is no sign of stain. it is happening for the first time .But from my first period I never had a pain in my abdominal area.I am now taking homeopathic medicine pulsatilla-200 .what should I do now?

Hi dear thanks for writing to healthcare magic!!
Heavy periods at your age is suggestive of menorrhagia and possible causes includes fibroid, ovarian cyst, Pelvic inflammation disease, bleeding disorder.
I advise the following investigations- Pelvic USG, Endometrium biopsy and Clinical examination.
Treatment should consists of hormonal pills or progesterone pills that helps in regularisation of the cycle, Also tranexamic tablets will reduce the blood loss.
NSAIDs like ibuprofen will reduce the pain.
Hope this information helps
