Hello,
Links to major hormone imbalance with or without underlying pelvic inflammatory issue, uterine fibroid or else.
My guidelines for this particular issue would be
- consult your OBGY and discuss the need of ultrasound and hormone evaluation of estrogen and else
- analgesic as dicyclomine or drotaverine hydrochloride; antacid as ranitidine and specific hormone medications to control the menses are mandatory
- supportive iron therapy to avoid development of anemia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
