Suggest Treatment For Prolonged Periods
Had period during long overseas flight. Lasted longer than usual although not as heavy (8-9 days). Two days after return flight started spotting and cramps. I m 52 years old. Still have regular periods. Is this cause for concern or could it have something to do with travel?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms can be related to perimenopause.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.
If the symptoms continue I recommend to consult a gynecologist.
Specific treatment such as Estrogen therapy can relieve the symptoms .
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contappct me again.
Kind regards!
