Is there an effective treatment for heavy menses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lose Weight: The amount of menses is diirectly related to the thickness of the lining as well as the size of the uterus. Estrogen is what leads to thickening of the lining. Fat binds estrogen so higher levels are needed in the blood for a women to release an egg and complete a cycle. So weight loss in a women who is overweight lightens the menses.
