How do you remedy a very, very heavy menstrual cycle?

Answer 1

There is a new birth control pill that makes your period shorter. I've seen the commerials for it on TV, but I can't remember the name. Ask your doc if you are interested. Also, I was on Seasonale birth control, which lets you have only 4 periods a year.

Actually, you should probably see your doctor anyway. Sometimes heavy periods are a symptom of ovarian cysts.

A lot of women have this problem. I'm sure there are some effective treatments for it.

Good luck!

Answer 2

If you mean cramps, drink lots of milk and if they are too bad to where you can't hardly stand or you throw up, you should see a doctor. More than likely they will end up putting you on the pill. Most of the time heavy menstrual cycles are hereditary.

Answer 3

If you have always had this problem, you most likely have a condition called "Von Willebrand's disease" which is a problem with blood clotting. Many women have it & it isn't serious. Birth control usually remedies this problem.

If this is a new problem, it could be pelvic inflammatory disease or something similar. See your ob/gyn.
