A member asked:

Can ground flaxseed help in harmonal imbalance(very heavy periods for 2-3days but regular, uses lysteda), have small fibroids also?

Unlikely to help: Your doctor can prescribe you birth control pills that can limit your period to once a year and that would obviate the bleeding and risk of anemia. Take oral iron and multivitamins to prevent anemia.
