Prolonged Bleeding After Light Period Start – Is Nexamic 500 Safe to Use?

Patient's Query

My period cycle was 28 days and lasted for 5 days normally but this time my last period was for 5 days but in first two days i only had spotting and now it is 10th day of my periods and it is not stopping I am out of country so i just bought nexamic 500 is that ok ..and can i go to gym and do some weight lifting will that effect my periods

Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

\Since your period has extended unusually and started with spotting, it could be due to hormonal imbalance, stress, travel, or a temporary cycle shift.

Nexamic 500 (tranexamic acid) is generally used to reduce heavy or prolonged bleeding, and it’s safe for short-term use if you have no history of clotting disorders. However, it’s always better to take it under a guidance of gynecologist, especially if bleeding continues beyond 2–3 days of medication.

As for the gym and weight lifting, light to moderate exercise is usually fine, but heavy workouts can increase strain and may slightly impact bleeding. It's best to avoid intense weight lifting until your bleeding settles.

If the bleeding continues for more than 12–14 days or gets heavier, please seek local medical care as it may need further evaluation.

I had sex during periods and my periods stops after only 2 daya is it normal or not ..??

Female | 18

When sexual activity occurs during menstruation, it can potentially disrupt the normal flow andcause the bleeding to taper off earlier than usual. This is generally considered normal and should not be a cause for significant concern. If you're concerned then please do a test to confirm.

Im 31 weeks pregnant got my growth scan report where it represents my baby hc is less 27.5 cm im really worried about it .is this a major complication wat should I do next

Female | 24

Genetics might be one reason, or perhaps there are some constraints on growth. Sometimes this isn’t significant but follow-up with a healthcare professional is necessary for more assessment and observation. They will direct you accordingly so that the health and growth of your little one are right on track.

I'm on my 4th day of period.but my blood flow is low than normal I only have a little amount of blood in first 2day.and no cramps as usual...and I'm sick I have fever and body pain...is there any chance I'm pregnant

Female | 22

It is perfectly natural for blood flow to be inconsistent during a menstrual cycle. Sometimes it may be lighter with less cramping. It’s quite common to experience a fever and body aches while menstruating – this doesn’t necessarily mean that you are pregnant. However, if you want to make sure, take a pregnancy test after your period ends. If your symptoms are worrying you, keep yourself hydrated and get plenty of rest.

Last Tuesday I experienced some bleeding. It looked like pink/brown discharge and it was watery. It only lasted a day. Since Wednesday, I have experienced nausea/cramping on and off

Female | 19

It seems like implantation bleeding might be what happened to you. It is when a fertilized egg attaches to the uterus lining which causes a pink or brown discharge. Moreover, nausea and cramping can also be the earliest symptoms of pregnancy. You might think about taking a pregnancy test if the symptoms persist or you skip your period.

‪ I have pain in lower abdomen since yesterday and also back pain and my periods are not dated yet so is it my missed pregnancy or early pregnancy symptoms and I had one missed pregnancy before. Is. And I had my periods on the 1st of March so how long do I have to wait for a pregnancy test?

Female | 18

It is difficult to diagnose without performing physical examination. On the other hand, the lower abdominal pain and back pain are frequently the early symptoms of pregnancy. As you have had a missed pregnancy once, it is advisable that you make an appointment with your gynecologist for an evaluation. A test can be taken between 1 and 2 weeks after a missed period.

Can I still be pregnant if I have taken multiple tests (all came back negative) and I’m still 12 days late?

Female | 22

Missing a period is possible­. It happens if the pregnancy hormone­ is low. Being late for 12 days could mean you're­ pregnant. Stress, weight change­s, and hormone problems could also cause this. If you think you might be­ pregnant, wait. Take another te­st later. If still unsure, get a blood te­st. Blood tests are more accurate­ than home tests.
