A member asked:

What bc pill can stop my heavy bleeding?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on the cause: If things like: precancerous cells, cancer, endometrial polyps, and submucosal fibroids have all ben ruled out, then most bc pills would be effective to decrease the bleeding for women with heavy menses.
