A member asked:
Is it recommended to take tranexamic acid tablets for heavy menstrual period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Heavy menstrual bleeding is one of the most common reasons for a gyn visit. There are various ways to treat it. Some medications are hormonal, some are not. Lysteda is an fda medication to treat hmb that is non hormonal. Compliance is key for it to work. You should not smoke or take birth control if you choose to use this medication. Additionally, options like Mirena (levonorgestrel) or endometrial ablation exist.
