How can I stop heavy periods with clots?
It is important to discuss with your doctor if you have heavy periods with clots. They will conduct a physical examination along with blood tests, sonography, and even laparoscopic procedure if required.
Home remedies, such as taking a day off during heavy days and taking it easy, help a lot of women. Other measures include:
using heating pads to help with abdominal cramps,
staying hydrated with water, green tea, and juices, and
avoiding alcohol and excess caffeine.
Ensure that you have a nutrient-rich meal with plenty of complex carbs.
Herbal remedies, such as ginger capsules, soaked fenugreek seeds, myrtle fruit syrup, and pomegranate flower capsules have no U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval but may be tried in some cases.
These are known to reduce cramping and bleeding.
Stress management techniques, such as yoga and meditation, may help.
If these remedies do not help, you may be placed on medication.
Medication
Taking acetaminophen or ibuprofen pill two times a day can reduce pain and bleeding.
A desmopressin nasal spray can help reduce bleeding.
Birth control pills can help make periods more regular, especially in those with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Antifibrinolytic medicines, such as tranexamic acid, are prescribed to reduce bleeding by keeping the clots from breaking down.
Managing underlying conditions, such as thyroid abnormalities, endometriosis, or fibroids, helps.
In severe cases, surgical interventions may be required, such as the following:
Hysteroscopy: This is a laparoscopic (minimally invasive) procedure that visualizes and removes polyps and uterine fibroids to help reduce a heavy flow.
Dilation and curettage: This is often done in cases of adenomyosis and involves removing the uterine lining to limit the bleeding. You may need to undergo the procedure more than once.
Endometrial ablation or resection: These procedures involve using techniques to destroy most or all the inner uterine lining.
Hysterectomy: This is an extreme measure that involves complete removal of the uterus.
