Prolonged bleeding is a very common issue that is highly treatable, so please do not worry. To help manage and stop the bleeding, a doctor may recommend non-hormonal options like tranexamic acid, or NSAIDs like ibuprofen to reduce blood flow. Hormonal treatments, such as oral contraceptive pills (estrogen and progestin) or progestin-only medications (like medroxyprogesterone), are also very effective at regulating your cycle. Since abnormal bleeding can stem from various easily treatable causes, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and prescription before starting any medication.
