A member asked:
I've periods for last 13 days with heavy bleeding and clots, what should i do to control this bleeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several options: Bleeding in women in the late 40's is most likely due to lack of or diminished Progesterone levels - that is the hormone that drops first. So taking Progesterone pills or using the Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud can help. Other causes for heavy and long periods include fibroids or polyps or adenomyosis or uterine infection or abnormal cells in your uterus. See your doctor to evaluate this.
