A member asked:

What can i do to help heavy menstrual bleeding and bad cramps besides birthcontrol?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Terri Washington answered

Depends on cause: If heavy periods and cramping is due to uterine fibroids they can sometimes be removed but there is no diet or supplements that are used for the treatment of this.
