Get in with a doctor: There are several things that can be done to help with your problem but all require being seen by a physician. Don't continue to suffer, get seen and get the help that you deserve.

Agree with Dr. W: Your doctor can prescribe a form of birth control pill that can limit your period to once a year. Take multivitamins and oral iron to prevent anemia from heavy bleeding. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
