Hi,
To have a heavy & painful period ,disturbing daily life can not be termed as normal.Though the such habit runs family, It's not the menstrual but the
hormonal pattern that is familial. It needs to be diagnosed & corrected to face stressful life full of competition now a days.
I feel
anemia you have might cause more bleeding.
The Bearing down sort pain you have , is
menstrual pain only helping blood clot/scanty bleeding out.It can be corrected by correction of menstrual hormonal pattern.
Please consult a Gynecologistfor physical/internal check up.
nessesery investigations. which will facilitate treatment of menses problem as well as anemia.
Till then,
- Have a protein,vitamin( Vitamin B complex,c,k specially), iron & calcium.
- take rest during menses. Fomenting lower abdomen & Valethamate bromide pill will help in pan.
Thanks.
