Can Vitamin C and Iron Reduce Heavy Periods?

Patient's Query

Hi was patient having periods pain in my home country and was having pms I was proscribed with birth control pills .. now my pains are compatively. Reduced but my periods are heavy I need to know if vitamin c tablets and iron tablets can reduce heavyness of periods

Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

Heavy menstruation occurs when you bleed excessively over your period. As it is, vitamin C with iron supplements can be what you need, but they may not directly reduce weight. Your body works better with iron in the presence of vitamin C to produce more red blood cells. These periods will make you lose a lot of iron thus the importance of this mineral. If they persist in being so heavy then talking to a gynecologist would be wise.

How to sit on toilet after hysterectomy?

Female | 32

After a hysterectomy, especially initially, be gentle with your movements. Before sitting, ensure you have adequate support, such as handrails or a nearby sink or counter to assist you. Keep your movements slow and controlled.

I took unwanted 72 pill twice a month(we also used condoms) (one on 28 Feb and another on 11th march) of my cycle. My period due date was 20th March and it's one day late. What can be the reason behind it and what can be done? Can I still be pregnant?

Female | 25

Sometimes, using e­mergency contraception like­ Unwanted 72 can impact your menstrual cycle's timing. Stre­ss, illness, routine changes - the­se factors can also delay your period's arrival. With the­ dates you provided and the condom usage­, pregnancy seems unlike­ly. However, waiting a bit longer may yie­ld your expected pe­riod. If concerns persist, a pregnancy te­st could offer reassurance.
