3 months I didn't get periods. But then, I got that now. But for one month it is continuously bleeding. Not stopping!what should I do .

Gayathri

Hello, I am experiencing abnormal menstrual bleeding and need medical advice. Here is my situation: I did not have my periods for three months (August, September, and October 2025). Around November 12–17, 2025, I tried a homemade herbal drink (ingredients included jaggery, cumin, onion, lemon, and water) in an attempt to induce my period, drinking it twice a day for five days. On November 17, 2025, my periods started, but since then I have been bleeding continuously. Today is December 17, 2025, so it has been one month of continuous bleeding. The bleeding is sometimes heavy, and I have noticed significant hair loss during this period. I am worried because this is not normal, and I am concerned about anemia or other underlying issues. I would greatly appreciate your advice on what tests I should take and what treatment is necessary to stop the bleeding. Thank you.

Hello,

Likely due to hormonal imbalance Yes , Continuous bleeding can cause anemia, which explains hair loss, weakness, and fatigue.

Tests needed: CBC (check anemia) Iron / ferritin levels TSH Pelvic ultrasound

Please dont try more home remedies or dont self medicate.

Please see a gynaecologist in person for taking these tests and proper evaluation.

Ok thank you …

Hello Gayathri Thank you for sharing all these details—this sounds very distressing, and you’re right to be concerned. Continuous bleeding for one month after missing periods for three months is not normal and needs prompt medical attention. The heavy bleeding and hair loss also raise concern for anemia (low blood count) and possible hormonal or structural causes.

Possible causes include: - Hormonal imbalance (like PCOS, thyroid issues, or perimenopause) - Uterine fibroids or polyps - Endometrial (uterine lining) problems - Side effects from herbal remedies (though less likely, but can trigger bleeding in some cases) - Other medical conditions (like bleeding disorders)

What you should do next: 1. See a gynecologist as soon as possible. Continuous bleeding for this long can be serious and may require urgent treatment. 2. Tests you’ll likely need: - Complete blood count (CBC) to check for anemia - Pelvic ultrasound to look for fibroids, polyps, or other uterine issues - Hormonal profile: thyroid function tests, prolactin, FSH, LH, and possibly others - Coagulation profile (to check for bleeding disorders) 3. Monitor for warning signs: If you feel dizzy, faint, very weak, have chest pain, or notice very heavy bleeding with clots, seek emergency care immediately.

What you can do at home: - Rest as much as possible. - Stay hydrated and eat iron-rich foods (like spinach, lentils, jaggery, pomegranate). - Avoid taking any more herbal or home remedies until you see a doctor.

Important: Only a gynecologist can prescribe the right treatment to stop the bleeding—this may include hormonal medications or other interventions, depending on the cause.

Thank you

Hi Gayathri, thank you for sharing your problem so clearly

What you’re describing is abnormal, prolonged bleeding and needs prompt medical attention.

Continuous bleeding for a month, especially when sometimes heavy, can cause significant blood loss and anaemia, which may explain your hair fall and tiredness.

If you are soaking a pad every 1–2 hours, feeling dizzy, breathless, very weak, or having chest pain or palpitations, go to the emergency room immediately rather than waiting for an appointment.

You now need an in‑person gynecology evaluation with ultrasound and blood tests (especially haemoglobin and iron levels) so that the cause of bleeding can be found and controlled safely with proper medicines.

Until you see a doctor, avoid over‑the‑counter hormonal or herbal remedies on your own, rest as much as possible, stay hydrated, and do not ignore worsening weakness or faintness.

Continuous menstrual bleeding for such an extended period definitely warrants a thorough evaluation and it’s good that you’re reaching out for guidance. Several potential causes could be triggering this, ranging from hormonal imbalances to more structural issues. Given the duration of bleeding and the associated symptoms like hair loss, it’s possible that your condition might be linked to hormonal disruption, such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid irregularities, but it’s crucial to also consider anemia due to blood loss and other conditions like fibroids or polyps.

First, I’d recommend scheduling an appointment with a healthcare provider as soon as possible. You’ll likely need a physical examination and your doctor will probably order some blood tests to assess your hormonal levels, including thyroid function tests and complete blood count (CBC) to check for anemia. This not only helps in confirming the suspected diagnosis, but also in ruling out other issues. An ultrasound might be necessary to examine the uterus and ovaries for any abnormalities. Given the heavy bleeding you’re experiencing, treatment might involve medications that can stabilize your bleeding and address any deficiencies. Iron supplements might be recommended to counteract anemia.

Ensure you monitor any symptoms that may worsen, like dizziness, breathlessness, or significant fatigue, as they would necessitate faster intervention. In the mean time, try to rest, hydrate, and maintain a balanced diet. Herbal remedies are useful in some cases but make sure any such treatment shouldn’t replace conventional advice without checking with your doctor. This is really important to address properly, so don’t delay getting medical help.
