Excessive menstrual bleeding: how many months of ocp's do i need to fix it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Regular use: If heavy menstrual bleeding is not from any pathologic cause (worked up by your doctor) then continued use of the ocp combined with nsaids (like anaprox) should help with heavy menstrual flow in most women. Find the cause first though. There are many.
