General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

I understand your concern. Your symptoms could be due to pelvic inflammatory disorder, ademomyosis, endometriosis, and hormonal imbalance. I would suggest to consult gynecologist and undergo vaginal examination, USG scan, reproductive hormone analysis to confirm the cause.

Doctor will give following advises:

- Progesterone pill/shot
- Drugs like ibuprofen for pain while having period

Bleeding can be reduced by tranexemic acid. Other treatment will depend on specific cause. Avoid stress, take healthy diet with iron supplements, drink plenty of water, do regular exercise and maintain proper pelvic hygiene.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Best regards,
Dr. Sagar
