General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

As per my clinical experience, a minor number of women do present with heavy menses flow as a side effect of the oral contraceptive pills to control the birth. Guidelines at present:
- Stop further doses of pill
- Get prescription of trenaxamic acid (500 mg) to be used for acute bleeding episode
- Low dose progesterone pills may also be help to regularise the system

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

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
