Hi my friend is having a very heavy menstrual cycle and this is her 2nd day with very heavy bleeding. she is really concerned. what can she do? thanks

Take Midol: There are a few home remidies for excessive menstrual cramps like regular exercise, application of heat, non-steroidals like Ibuprofen/ Midol etc. If these measures still fail to relieve your friend of the extreme discomfort, she can go to her doctor for a trial of birth control pills, which are helpful in controlling such dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Good luck!
