It is common for PCOD to cause prolonged bleeding due to hormonal imbalances, specifically a lack of progesterone. Please don't worry, as this is highly manageable. To stop the active bleeding, doctors often prescribe oral progestins (such as medroxyprogesterone) or combined oral contraceptive pills to reset and regulate your cycle. Non-hormonal options like tranexamic acid can also be used to safely reduce heavy flow. Long-term, lifestyle changes and medications like metformin help manage the underlying PCOD. Please consult a gynecologist, who may recommend a simple ultrasound to check your uterine lining and tailor the correct prescription for you.
