A member asked:
Will taking ibuprofen shorten my periods? any harm in trying it out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No and No: Ibuprofen's effect on bleeding mostly effects platelets and this has little to do with your period.The "period" is your womb discarding an unfertilized lining ready for a fertilized egg.
