A member asked:
My 12 yr old has abnormal & sometimes super heavy periods (more than 1 thick pad soaked thru in under hr). is there way to help besides birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably normal. : When menses begin there an be quite a variation of bleeding, etc. Please see your pediatrician to assure there is no problem with endocrine or blood systems. If she is iron deficient, then regulating her periods makes sense. Other than hormonal treatement there is no other way.
