Hello,

Excessive bleeding will affect your general health, may cause low blood pressure, dizziness, anemia and weakness. You should get clinically examined by your gynecologist, get a follow up clinical examination done. Get CBC, other required blood workouts and imaging tests done to detect the pathology causing you bleeding symptoms like PPH, hematoma, cervical polyp, internal injury, fibroid, endometriosis, etc.

You will be accordingly treated. In the meantime, stay at rest, avoid stress and anxiety. Take home made, nutritious food rich in iron, magnesium, zinc, etc. You can also take supplements.

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

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
