A member asked:
Is it true that medroxyprogesterone birth control injection be used to control heavy periods?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is a very good method of cycle control as long as there is no other cause of the bleeding, such as rumors, polyps, precancerous lesions on the cervix, or premalignant areas in the uterus. These are usually screened for by your doctor if you are having heavy cycles before medication is initiated.
