Periods won't stop
I have pcod. So for most part of the year I had somewhat regular cycles, with 4-5 days of menstruation days. But I did not get my periods after August and then got them on 24th October and now its 12 November and the bleeding won't stop. The flow is not heavy and I have no cramps. But I want the bleeding to stop as I have to travel in a few days.
Last year similar thing had happened and the gynecologist gave me a course of Trapic Mf for 5days(3times) and Primulet n 5 mg for 23 days.
Do I need to repeat this or will only taking trapic mf will suffice?

With PCOD, a long gap followed by weeks of light, cramp-free spotting like this usually means an anovulatory cycle. The lining built up slowly over those months and is now shedding gradually instead of all at once, so it isn't an emergency. But whether you need the same two medicines as last time, or just one, depends on how this particular bleed responds, not on repeating last year's course exactly.
Next Steps
Please call your gynecologist this week, before you travel, so they can confirm the right medicine or combination for this episode.
Health Tips
Go in sooner if the bleeding gets heavy, you feel dizzy or weak, or it hasn't settled in a few days.
