Can Vitamin C and Iron Reduce Heavy Periods?

Patient's Query

Hi was patient having periods pain in my home country and was having pms I was proscribed with birth control pills .. now my pains are compatively. Reduced but my periods are heavy I need to know if vitamin c tablets and iron tablets can reduce heavyness of periods

Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

Heavy menstruation occurs when you bleed excessively over your period. As it is, vitamin C with iron supplements can be what you need, but they may not directly reduce weight. Your body works better with iron in the presence of vitamin C to produce more red blood cells. These periods will make you lose a lot of iron thus the importance of this mineral. If they persist in being so heavy then talking to a gynecologist would be wise.

I took unwanted 72 pill twice a month(we also used condoms) (one on 28 Feb and another on 11th march) of my cycle. My period due date was 20th March and it's one day late. What can be the reason behind it and what can be done? Can I still be pregnant?

Female | 25

Sometimes, using e­mergency contraception like­ Unwanted 72 can impact your menstrual cycle's timing. Stre­ss, illness, routine changes - the­se factors can also delay your period's arrival. With the­ dates you provided and the condom usage­, pregnancy seems unlike­ly. However, waiting a bit longer may yie­ld your expected pe­riod. If concerns persist, a pregnancy te­st could offer reassurance.

Can I be pregnant from grinding on a penis w nothing on and no condom but he was never inside of me and he never came?

Female | 18

A pregnancy may take place if the semen comes into any contact with the vaginal area, whether there is a penetration or ejaculation. It is imperative to have barrier protection while engaging in any type of sexual activity because this way you and your partner will be prevented from having unwanted pregnancies and from contracting sexually transmitted infections.

I am a 23 year old female. I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend and took the morning after pill three times in one month. We had sexual intercourse twice in a span of two weeks and I took the morning after pill both times. Then I got my period so we stopped, when I came off we had sexual intercourse again and I took the morning after pill, then a few days later got heavy bleeding like a period for 6-7 days. Since then we haven’t had any sexual intercourse. This was last month. This month I haven’t gotten my period yet. It’s delayed. Is it because the morning after pills alters hormones? Or am I pregnant?

Female | 23

Since you took the morning after pill multiple times within a month may have altered your menstrual cycle and caused a delay in your period. But there is still a possibility of pregnancy even if you have taken the morning after pill. Because emergency contraception is not 100% effective in preventing pregnancy, and repeated use of the pill within a short period of time may decrease its effectiveness.

Hi Doctor, can someone that has given birth with scissors due to high blood pressure be able to give birth normally for the second time?

Female | 28

Hey, consult with the OBGYN or gynecologist who is experienced with complicated pregnancies. They have the capability to review the patient’s medical history to make specific suggestions depending on the individual case. Get professional advice from a health care provider before going ahead with conceiving again.
