Period Concerns

[Kerryhames]

Hi, sorry I am new to this, wanting a bit of advice really. I am 53, i had not had a period since the beginning of September, I am now experience bleeding now for about a month, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, has anyone else experienced this. Unsure whether to go to the doctors and don’t think there is anything they can do?

I had a never-ending period about a year ago. The doctor gave me tranexamic acid which worked a treat.

You're getting over 6 months of womb lining coming away at once.
You can try tranexamic acid (over the counter) or ibuprofen.
If it carries on and is really bad, you could think about a Mirena coil but at your age you're likely to be close to post-menopause.

Thank you, strange is I don’t have pain with it, just relentless if you know what I mean, wish it would hurry up and stop

Thank you, is this for pain though as it’s not painful just annoying

No, tranexamic acid reduces the blood flow.You can buy it in pharmacies.

Brilliant, will pay a visit to the pharmacy, thank you ☺️

No, mine wasn’t painful either . It just went on and on and on!
