How to reduce period flow

Gynaecology

Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

Period flow can vary from person to person, and heavy flow, known as menorrhagia, can be caused by factors like hormonal imbalances, uterine fibroids, or even certain medications. To help manage it, you can try using a heating pad on your lower abdomen, practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing, staying hydrated, and ensuring you have enough iron in your diet. If your flow is significantly impacting your daily life, it's a good idea to consult with a gynecologist who can evaluate your specific situation and provide tailored solutions.

I’ve been on antibiotics a week ago and now have sore dry and swollen Virgina

Female | 49

Sore, dry, SWOLLEN vagina after antibiotics is common. Antibiotics kill good bacteria too. Good BACTERIA keep vagina healthy.... Resulting imbalance causes infection. Drink plenty of water. Avoid douching. Wear loose cotton underwear. Use vaginal moisturizer. TALK to your doctor....

How can I treat pid and I will be happy if you help me out

Female | 25

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) often arises from infections affecting the reproductive organs. Symptoms may include pelvic pain, unusual discharge, or fever. Treatment typically involves antibiotics to eliminate the infection, and it’s crucial to follow the prescribed course completely. Additionally, pain relief can be managed with over-the-counter medications. Partners should also be tested to prevent reinfection. While at-home care is important, I highly recommend consulting a gynecologist to receive proper diagnosis and tailored treatment. They can provide guidance and ensure your health is prioritized.

I'm a 23 years old lady, my period came for the third time this month. this is the first time I am experiencing this.

Female | 23

You experienced your period three times in one month, which is unusual. This irregular bleeding between periods gets called intermenstrual bleeding. Various factors could trigger this, like hormonal changes, stress, or an infection. If bleeding persists, consult a gynecologist for evaluation and proper treatment.

I am 23 year old , am getting vaginal bleed now I don't know it's bleeding or my periods because today morning only I masturbated after a hrs I got bleeding, am fear of it please tell me what happened to me .

Female | 23

Bleeding following masturbation might result from the sensitivity of vaginal tissues, especially if you are a bit intense. Since it’s out of season, you can’t be menstruating. This bleeding will stop by itself without any treatment. If it continues or becomes heavy, you should see a gynecologist.

Hi there My name is Afiyat Nuha.I am 18 years old Recently I have missed my period but I can't find a reason for that to happen. What should I do?

Female | 18

It’s not uncommon to miss a period and it can happen due to stress, any changes in weight, or hormonal imbalances might be to blame. It may help to write down all the symptoms you have noticed and then talk to someone close to you about them. Another thing that might help is keeping track of when they occur to better understand what’s going on with your body. If this continues happening, however, consult with a gynecologist for further guidance.

i have been having white vaginal discharge for past 2-3 days and my period is due for this week ali though i have pcos. i had sex while using a condom and then it was also withdrawn about 3 weeks back . i am really really worried about pregnancy because i read that this could be a sign although i experience this kind of discharge before every menstruation

Female | 21

The reason for this is that before a period begins, a discharge of this nature is usually a result of hormonal changes. If you have been using protection during intercourse, then do not worry too much it is not always a sign of being pregnant. But if you are still worried, take a pregnancy test just to be sure everything is okay.

I’m experiencing spotting light brownish pinkish, last period was sept 23rd-28th I usually have regular heavy 5-7 day periods, I’m dealing with cramping and also a burning feeling in my stomach but only in the morning when I wake up. I took a pregnancy test yesterday it was negative I’m confused. Idk if it’s too early to test or what.

Female | 22

Pregnancy or various underlying conditions may be indicated by light brownish pinkish spots. 7-8 weeks ago is the last period from Sept 23rd -… 5-7 day periods are normal. The causes of cramping and burning feeling in the stomach are diverse. A pregnancy test may be conducted after a missed period to detect if one is pregnant. It may result to false-negative if taken too early. Contact a doctor for the right diagnosis and treatment.

Female | 22.5

You may have an infection in your vaginal area. The white, thick fluid and itchy feeling might indicate a yeast infection. Bleeding before your monthly period could be linked too. Pain in your belly after eating has various reasons like trouble digesting food properly. Visiting a gynecologist is crucial to get the correct treatment.

I had my menstruation recently May 25 to be precise but haven't ovulate, any cause for alarm? And can I get pregnant without ovulation??? Please advise

Female | 27

If a woman won’t ovulate, then possible pregnancy becomes a big task. Ovulation signs include altered cervical mucus, changes in body temperature, and, on the other hand, ovulatory pain. If you doubt, you can track your ovulation by observing such symptoms or find a gynecologist and ask them for help.

I am a 22 y/o female who has been dealing with a persistent yeast infection. Nothing and no amount of medicine has made it go away. I got tested for ureaplasma and took the antibiotics for it but still have the yeast infection. How do i make it go away ?

Female | 22

Yeast infections can be quite bothersome, but there are ways to manage them effectively. They often cause itchiness, a brownish-white discharge that looks like cottage cheese, and inflammation in the area. Sometimes, even after treating other infections like ureaplasma, the yeast infection might persist. If this happens, you may need a different antifungal medication prescribed by your doctor to clear it up.

I have got a bad headache feeling dizzy and feeling nausea and bad cramps and I feel really tired dud to my nexplanon arm implant

Female | 27

Headaches, dizziness, and nausea are a few side effects that the implant can be responsible for. At times our bodies require time to adjust to the hormones in the implant. Keep in mind that staying hydrated, getting enough rest, and visiting your gynecologist about these symptoms is paramount. They can assist you in determining the most suitable course of action.

Left tubal ectopic pregnancy my USG report. Ectopic pregnancy treatment

Female | 23

A left tubal ectopic pregnancy means the embryo grows outside the womb, often in the fallopian tube. This is dangerous! Symptoms like severe belly pain, bleeding, and shoulder ache require quick medical care. Ectopic pregnancies can't continue normally, so treatment removes the embryo surgically or with medication. Complications are possible without proper care from a gynecologist. Follow their instructions precisely – make all follow-up visits to ensure full recovery.

Female | 30

Sometimes cysts can develop after surgeries, like the one you had. These cysts can grow and cause discomfort. They might even impact fertility, leading to miscarriages. It's essential to have this evaluated by a gynecologist. They may suggest imaging tests or even a minor procedure to address it. In the meantime, focus on your overall health, eat well, stay active, and try to manage stress.

my stomach has stayed bloated for the past 4 days now. i felt flutter like kicks for about 3 seconds last night whilst laying down in bed. it feels full i took a pregnancy test and it came back and said on the stick “not pregnant” but i only tested once. i’m supposed to be due on my period but my periods have always been irregular. some months though have been on time most haven’t. my period did come very very early at the start of july. the last day of my period before that for example, was on 28th june and then came back for 3 days starting on 12th july. i haven’t really had extreme pain or discomfort, only slightly but i never really experience discomfort/pain when i’m supposed to be due on they’re always very minor.

Female | 21

You may be presenting symptoms of bloating and irregular periods. There are many causes for bloating, including, among other things, gas and constipation. To some people, irregular periods can be part of the norm. The fluttering you sensed may be due to muscle contractions. Talk with a gynecologist if the symptoms continue or worsen for more recommendations.
