I have been consukting doctors for my period issues for almost 11 years now but my period issues did not resolve. I am tired of consuming contraceptives to regularize my periods as dicontinuing them after the prescribed time the irregularities again come back. Also in 2024 I was diagnosed anemic due to heavy bleeding with Haemoglobin levels stooping down to 6 on the scale. When I get my periods big clots come out and once bleeding starts it doesn't stop. To stop it I again have to take trapic 650. I am obese now and I am trying to loose weight and take care of my diet as well but period issues still remain. Kindly suggest me a better way to get my periods on regular basis. Everytime I consult a gyneac they tell me to loose some weight you will get regular periods but if I loose weight the bleeding doesn't stop on its own when I get period. That's my issue as of now.
Eleven years of irregular, heavy periods with clots that don't ease on their own, especially after your haemoglobin dropped to 6, point to more than weight alone. Fibroids, adenomyosis or a thickened uterine lining alongside PCOS-type hormonal imbalance are common causes. Tranexamic acid controls bleeding once it starts, but it won't regulate your cycle. Weight loss helps the hormonal side, but a structural cause needs its own treatment.
Next Steps
Ask your gynaecologist for a pelvic ultrasound and a hormone panel, and get your thyroid rechecked even on eltroxin. If a cause is found, a hormonal IUD or hysteroscopy may help, since neither depends on your weight.
Health Tips
Keep checking your haemoglobin regularly, and see your gynaecologist sooner if clots get larger, bleeding soaks through in under an hour, or you feel breathless or faint.
