A member asked:
I'm taking active pills for my pcos but suddenly i started having heavy menstrual period .what does it mean and what should i do to stop the heavy menstrual period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes women with PCOS experience heavier bleeding during their menstrual cycle. The technical name for this is menorrhagia, and it's caused by low levels of progesterone associated with PCOS. Some options to stop the heavy periods include the pill, vaginal ring, shot, and hormonal intrauterine device (IUD). Please discuss these options and possibly further testing with your gynecologist.
