General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

The menstrual bleeding should be stopped immediately to avoid further blood loss. Anti-fibrinolytics should be administered to reduce the blood flow. Hormonal pills should be started there after to regularise the cycles.

Anemia, polycystic ovaries, hypothyroidism, uterine fibroids and endometriosis should be ruled out. Hormonal imbalance is the main cause of heavy bleeding which should be identified and treated.

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

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
