I had mega heavy periods.... Super plus tampons, plus pads - both would be soaked through within a couple of hours..... Took Mefenamic Acid then had no period for over 12 months, but now they're back!!! I'm 48 years old this year. Still bleeding out, bloating........ PLEASE HELP!!!!
It is important that you go back to your doctor again to find out why this is still happening. If they don't offer you any other treatment then you could try the herb Agnus castus, which is traditionally used at this time for heavy/prolonged periods. Some women also find that acupuncture can be very effective for this so it is worth looking into. However, do please bug your doctor for some action – there is no reason why you should have to haemorrhage like this without receiving any help.
