Can Folic Acid Help Me In Irregular Bleeding ?
I have been bleeding irregularly for about five years. I go times where I bleed all month long. Can folic acid help with this? I am twenty eight years old, and over weight. When I had my son I gained over a hundred pounds in the last two months, but that was eight years ago.

Overweight and irregular periods could point to possible Hypothyroidism or ovarian hormonal disorder. It would be best to get your hormonal checked for the same and also get a thorough checkup by your Gynaecologist also to rule out other causes. Also get your Haemoglobin and blood cell count done to rule out anaemia which is common in severe bleeding. Folic acid will not be of much help in your case. You can take medicine like T.Pause (Tranexemic acid) to reduce your bleeding.
