There is no medicine to increase the flow during periods
The two reasons for scanty flood during periods is either being on the higher side of BMI or hypothyroidism
Exercise and get your thyroid levels checked

✔️ Tests to do
1. Thyroid Profile (TSH, T3, T4)
2. Serum Prolactin
3. Pelvic ultrasound (Day 2–5) – to check endometrial thickness and uterus/ovaries
✔️ Treatment
Once reports are seen, treatment is given accordingly. Common medicines used:
Deviry 10 mg once daily for 10 days (to regulate cycles)
Estrogen support (if endometrium is thin)
Treat thyroid or prolactin issues if present
✔️ Lifestyle
Maintain healthy weight
Reduce stress
Avoid excessive exercise or crash diets
If your flow continues to decrease or cycles become irregular, please follow-up for proper treatment.
