What Should I Do To Stop My Prolonged Menstrual Flow?

Hi, my name is XXXX. I have a one year old son and I have been bleeding every since I’ve had him. I got on birth control but it made the bleeding worse! I tried to go to my nurse partitioner but she told me to give it more time! I’ve been bleeding for a year! I have major headaches and muscle pains. What should I do to stop the bleeding ?

Hello,

Kindly get an ultra sound to look for any retained products of conception. Once that's ruled out kindly start on progesterone only pills to stop bleeding. Also, take adequate iron supplements along with high protein diet for general well being.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rajni Gill, OB & GYN Specialist
