I have been experiencing a prolonged period for the past 30 days with continuous heavy bleeding, blood clots, and severe pain. What medicine should I take to treat this?

Please seek immediate medical evaluation from a gynaecologist or visit an emergency room. Continuous heavy bleeding for 30 days with clots and severe pain is a serious concern that requires professional assessment to prevent severe anaemia or identify underlying issues like fibroids or hormonal imbalances. Do not self-medicate. Once diagnosed, a doctor may prescribe medications such as tranexamic acid to reduce bleeding, hormonal treatments (like progestins or birth control pills) to regulate your cycle, or prescription pain relievers. Please seek care immediately, especially if you feel dizzy, unusually tired, or weak.

I am experiencing abnormal bleeding and prolonged periods. What medicine should I take to treat this?

Abnormal and prolonged bleeding requires a proper medical evaluation to determine the underlying cause, such as hormonal imbalances, fibroids, or thyroid issues. You should not self-medicate. Depending on the diagnosis, a doctor may prescribe: Hormonal treatments: Birth control pills, oral progestins, or a hormonal IUD to regulate your cycle. Non-hormonal medicines: Tranexamic acid to help reduce blood loss, or NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) to decrease flow and cramping. Please consult a gynaecologist for a physical exam and pelvic ultrasound to get the correct, safe prescription tailored to your specific needs.

My period is delayed by 14 days, and my pregnancy test is negative. Instead of a normal flow, I am experiencing very light bleeding with black clots. What could be the reason for this, and what medicine should I take?

A 14-day delay with light bleeding and black clots usually indicates 'old blood' that took longer to exit the uterus. This is commonly caused by hormonal imbalances, stress, thyroid fluctuations, or conditions like PCOS. While your urine pregnancy test was negative, a blood test (beta-hCG) is highly recommended to completely rule out pregnancy, including ectopic pregnancy. Do not take any self-prescribed medication to start your period. Please consult a gynaecologist who can perform an ultrasound and prescribe the correct therapy, such as progesterone, to safely regulate your cycle based on your specific diagnosis.
