To help manage heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), doctors commonly prescribe several effective options. Non-hormonal treatments include tranexamic acid, which helps blood clot during your period, and NSAIDs (like ibuprofen or mefenamic acid) to reduce flow and cramping. Hormonal options work by regulating the uterine lining; these include combined oral contraceptive pills, oral progestins, or a hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) containing levonorgestrel. Rest assured, these are standard treatments that work very well. I highly recommend discussing these options with your gynecologist to determine the safest and most suitable choice for your body.
