Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Heavy periods: There are lots of treatment options you can discuss with your doctor. If this is a one time thing then no treatment is needed. If it continues then discuss your options. Lysteda is a nonhormone medication designed for heavy periods. Some benefit from birth control pills, patch or nuvaring. Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud can stop your period in some cases.
