Will exercising consistently help relieve heavy periods?

Answer 1

OTC pain relievers such as ibuprofen or naproxen used around the clock at the first sign of your period helps to reduce the severity of cramps in many women by inhibiting the release of prostaglandins.
Regular exercise such as walking helps to prevent or at least reduce the severity of menstrual cramps for some women.
Oral contraceptives may effectively reduce or eliminate menstrual cramps for some women; however you should consider the side effects of oral contraceptives before using them to prevent cramps.
Zinc, calcium, and B vitamins obtained in food and supplements have been found to reduce cramps, bloating and other symptoms.
Herbal remedies such as Viburnum prunifolium, Scutellaria spp., and Cimicifuga raemosa have an antispasmodic effect that may reduce some menstrual cramps.
A warm bath filled with aromatherapy or a heating pad on your lower abdomen and back is often helpful for relieving menstrual cramping.

Answer 2

No, in fact, if you look at the link below, under the "causes" section, *excessive* exercise may make it worse.

I'd say that your best bet would be birth control pills, which would reduce the bleeding by roughly 2/3.

Deprovera, especially, should help as it can have the effect of halting menstruation, and consequently, the heavy blood loss.

Hope this is of some help :)

Answer 3

Well, I know that if you're very athletic it may take a while for your period to start. But I think that's before you have your first period.
