ibuprofen for heavy periods

my prom is tomorrow and my periods are really heavy is there anything i can do to slow it down.

ve been to the doctors and all they did was send for me a blood test which came back as inconclusive and stuff, I was wandering if anyone knows what it could be?

i am 46 years old and for the past few days i've been having very heavy bleeding during my periods and the pain is absolutley unbearable. i need to know what to eat and what medicine I can take.Every 2 hours or less i keep having to change my pads i also have to put two pads to make sure they dont leak out.

Is it normal for my period to last for more than a month? And for it to start getting clotty?

I take ibuprofen around the clock for my Lupus. In 3.5 hours I soaked 3 super plus tampons and a maxi. I'll keep an eye on it and trying to stay off my feet. I am feeling weak and dizzy.

Like another comment said, birth control can help with long or heavy periods. It has been prescribed by many doctors for those specific reasons.

My daughter has regular, but heavy painful periods and has not been sexually active.

ok I just read online that you are not suppose to take ibuprofen while you are pregnant again im 5 weeks i took total of seven not all together of course over say a period of maybe two days due to a severe toothache did i do something stupid is my baby going to be ok.

For the last couple months I have been experiencing extreme periods. Very heavy bleeding (needing to change my tampon every 1-2 hours) and severe cramping. I can't sleep, can barely function at work. Midol, tylonal, ibuprofen, naproxen and heat packs don't help the cramping at all. I am 29 years old. As a teenager I had issues with cramping, though never this severe and these issues seemed to resolve in my 20's.

My periods are soooooo painful like no joke. My cramps get so bad to the point where I cry if I Don't take midol. And my symptoms are so bad. My flow is very very heavy, I have to change my pad very often and after like 2 hours my pad is soked. And it gives me the worst stomach aches ever. Also there's times where is get it twice a month, and my period is hard to track, I get these apps that work for my friends but I always end up getting it late or early never on time.

Hi, truthfully, while everyone is different, by my standards this doesn't sound like a super heavy period. It actually is what I think is a pretty common patter, starting out slow, then a day of heavier bleeding and clots and then slowing down over the next few days. To put it into perspective for you, as I've gotten older, I've gotten a heavier cycle . . . I can fill a tampon/pad in less than 2 hours on a heavy day. And sometimes much less time with leakage.

ve had paragard for almost 3 years (December), and my periods are very heavy. They also last a lot longer, about 10-14 days. There are even months that I get my period twice. I also experience headaches on a monthly basis during my period or after. I'm thinking of having mine removed because I'm tired of bleeding out and getting headaches.

For period cramps, I never found anything that necessarily prevented them but found ibuprofen helped very much to alleviate them. For mood swings, being aware helps. If you use an app (medhelp has a good one called mycycles that you can find under health tools)-- you can see the time period in which moodiness will most likely begin. For me, it's week three of my cycle. Like to the letter, that hits and watch out. My evil twin arrives. My emotional roller coaster twin arrives.

Ibuprofen is bad for our livers. Try getting a massage if you can. Bromelian, a natural supplement made from pineapples helps reduce swelling but it takes time to work. Also, make sure you're drinking lots of water, and getting some exercise. Try some yoga too. Pot brownies worked the best for my back pain.

my stomach had a hole in it from all the ibuprofen/vicodin/ponstel I had taken.) I finally had the surgery for it and they removed a lot of endometriosis. Afterward I went on birth control (even though I didn't want to) and I literally had no pain. It's been a year since then and I've had to switch my method of birth control due to adenomyosis (endo of the uterus muscle) from the pill to the shot, and the shot has brought me much more relief (though not for everyone).

Hello! I have been dealing with pain from ovarian cysts for almost 2 years now. We have 2 adorable girls and I had to have a C-section with each one because of a fibroid tumor. My last C-section was in 2007. After learning that my pain was from an ovarian cyst I was fine with simply "managing" it with ibuprofen. In the meantime, my periods have gotten horrible...extremely heavy and painful for almost a year and ovulation is dreadful.

I am 45 and been having my period for 20 days now. No sign of stopping and now I am have lower back pains like if I am having labor pains. what my be the problem?

My period ended on the 29th of last month, now today on the 7th I'm bleeding again and it seems like my period again. It's not really heavy but at the same time it's not spotting either , I haven't had intercourse since March & I haven't missed any periods . In May I had my period at the end of April and the beginning of May . & also the end of May .

I've always had horrible periods. Very heavy n painful. I've even had them so heavy I've fainted n bruised up the whole side of mydarn face.. :-\ so I feel you pain hun. Try ibuprofen its worked for me better than other meds. You can also try a heating pad on you low belly.

I had a c section 20 mos ago. since then my periods have been really heavy and there is always a day I seem to gush blood. Well- my period came a week early this month and last night I seemed to have passed a lot of blood- that seemed really red. Now that I am up it does not seem to be flowing so strong. I don't have any pain- slight cramping. I am not sure whether I should go to the ER or not- hate to go if it is just my period! Just seems odd there was so, so much.

I have been bleeding now for 17 days. It's so heavy I can't wear tampons because I will soak a heavy one in 30 mins. I went to the gyno and with out doing any test tehy just put me on Ortho Cyclen birth control. They put me on the pill while I wass still bleeding to think I would stop all this bleeding but it did not. After starting the pill the next da I woke up in pain, it felt like I was being punched in the stomach and could not breath.

I got my 4 wisdom teeth pulled out the 6th of May. They perscribed 800MG of ibuprofen, 5-325 of Vicodin, and 150MG of clindamycin. I've only just stopped taking all these meds today the 12th because I found out just yesterday I had dry socket from the 3 day post sugery so I needed to take away the pain. My period was due the 14th but I got it the 11th yesterday. It started with a little spotting then full on heavy.

That is not uncommon nor is it serious. It just makes for more painful periods. And eventually you may pass it which will feel like a super heavy period with great great discomfort. Your doctor could determine if it is a cyst though. I will say that a lot of women have cramping with their periods and it can be quite painful. Ibuprofen helps a lot!
