Hi
Thanks for writing to HCM
Irregularities in menses are common, based on the information provided it is less likely that the two are interconnected. It appears that the heavy period after your first time intercourse in coincidence.
It would have been better if you had mentioned, the duration (days) of menses.
I would have treated you with tablet mefanamic Acid 500 mg twice daily taken after food in morning and at night for three days, from the first day of period. This will take care of your pain and discomfort.

I would suggest you to see doctor for examination, in case the heavy period to persists in next cycle add the cause need to identified.

I hope that you have got something useful from HCM.
Wish you good health.
Take care
