DD (17) has extremely heavy periods. They are so heavy that during the night she has to wear incontinence nappies - all pads she has tried leak through the night, even the biggest/thickest ones available. It has become an issue for her because it often stops her from doing things - she feels she can't go out much while she's on her period and it is difficult for her to manage at school.
We have seen doctors who believe that birth control methods of managing her period are not ideal because of the hormones etc which would be added to her body and so won't prescribe anything.
Does anyone have any experience of this problem/ideas of how to manage it?
Thanks
