Continuous Bleeding, Had Treatment For Typhoid And Low Hemoglobin, Taken Crisanta. Cause And Remedy?

I am 26yrs. Last year I was admitted to hospital as my haemoglobin went to low and I also had a typhoid attack at the same time, Typhoid was taken care in a day or two but I found out the main reason for my low blood level is Heavy periods, due to which my doctor recommended a medicine called CRISANTA for next 6 months which will help to reduce the flow of periods, and I noticed big difference. As I finished the course of 6 months with the medicine I noticed that the flow of periods is increasing again, so my doctor suggested me to stick to the medicine for another 6 months, everything was fine until I got my last period on May 16, 2012 which is still on, it is almost 25 days now and I don’t know what to do? I am really worried. Kindly help

Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.

Increased flow and increased duration of period is termed medically as menorrhagia. This condition is associated with few pathological conditions such as dysfunctional uterine bleeding, fibroid uterus, endometrosis, etc. As a brief course of combined hormonal pills failed to regulate periods, you need to report to your gynecologist.

Your gynecologist can clinically examine you, subject you to relevant investigations which can include blood hormonal assays, colposcopy, ultrasound test and dilatation / curretage followed by histopathological studies to rule out the possible cause. She can also start you on drugs like tranexamic acid and iron supplements.

Since you are bleeding persistently, I encourage you to visit your gynecologist at the earliest and get the aforementioned tests done.

Hope this helps.

Wish you good health.

Regards
