Hello Sameeksha

You can go with Tab Norethisterone 5mg twice daily until you want your periods to come but it should be taken before the period starts .

But as you have mentioned that it’s light spotting so it will work in that situation too .

Drink plenty of water and feel free to reach out again.

Avoid smoking or if you have heart related issues.

Thank you

I got my period on Feb 10 but till now it is not stopped, once it will stop and again in the morning it will start to bleed again not red blood it looks like brown blood and i the done the scanning doctor suggested every thing is normal only bulk overies is slight bigger and given me texakind to stop the spotting and evacare to continue after bleeding stop but it is alredy a week my bleeding is not stopped. So I need a tablet to stop the spotting not for a delay

Since you’ve already had a scan and your doctor prescribed Texakind (tranexamic acid) to stop the spotting and Evacare to continue after bleeding stops, but the spotting is still ongoing after a week, it’s important not to start or change any medication without your doctor’s advice.

Here’s why: - Persistent spotting or bleeding, even if it’s brown, can sometimes happen with hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovaries, or after using certain medications. - Taking additional tablets or changing your dose on your own can be unsafe and may not address the underlying cause. - Since your scan is normal except for slightly bulky ovaries, this is likely related to hormonal fluctuations, which sometimes take a little longer to settle.

What you should do: - Contact your doctor (even by phone ) and let them know that the spotting hasn’t stopped after a week of Texakind. - Do not take any new medication or increase your dose without their guidance. - If you develop heavy bleeding (soaking more than 2 pads in an hour), severe pain, dizziness, or weakness, seek medical help immediately .

Hi Sameeksha,

Thank you for reaching out. I understand you are in a difficult situation being away from home, but please be very careful with self-medicating for bleeding.

Here is what you need to know right now:

· DO NOT take any random tablet to stop bleeding without a doctor’s prescription. Bleeding can be caused by many things (period, infection, pregnancy issue, etc.), and the wrong medicine can be dangerous. · Light spotting with cramps is often less urgent than heavy bleeding, but it still needs attention.

My Recommendations:

1. Rest Immediately: Lie down and avoid walking or standing for long periods. This helps reduce blood flow to the area. 2. Hydrate: Drink water or oral rehydration solution (ORS) if available. 3. Pain Relief: If the cramps are painful, you can consider Paracetamol (if you have taken it before and have no allergies). Do not take Aspirin or Ibuprofen as they can thin the blood and increase bleeding. 4. Seek Remote Help: Since you cannot visit a hospital physically, please try to do a teleconsultation (phone call or video call) with a local doctor or a nearby pharmacy. They can ask the right questions and guide you safely.

When to rush to the nearest clinic/hospital:

· If the bleeding becomes heavy (soaking a pad every hour). · If you feel dizzy, faint, or have severe pain.

Please prioritize finding a medical professional by phone. Self-treatment is risky here.

Dr. Nikhil Chauhan, Urologist

Yes, I understand and I have prescribed you a medicine for that only. As you start this medication, your periods will stop.

To keep them stopped, you need to keep taking this medicine twice daily. For example - after 5 days or 10 days, you feel that it’s okay if periods come now, stop this medication.

If you stop this medication after taking 1/2/3/4 doses, periods will come after the last dose.

But now just I need to stop the bleeding of my last period

You are having your periods since 10th February. That’s not normal. My advise would be to get an Ultrasound of your Pelvis + Abdomen done and share rhe report. Also do a Urine Pregnancy Test at home if you had any unprotected sexual intercourse in recent times.

Yes, you can continue Evercare syrup after the bleeding has stopped if your doctor prescribed it. It is usually given as a supportive herbal tonic to help recovery. Take it for the duration advised by your doctor unless you develop any discomfort.

It’s never fixed that on which day you’ll get your periods for next month. Since you will be on Tab. Norethisterone for 21 days from now. Your periods will come once 21 days are completed.

Also get these tests done - CBC, TSH FT3 FT4.

And also start Tab. Iron + Folic Acid once daily × 1 month. This will support your body against blood loss.

Hello

Tab. Norethisterone 5mg 1-0-1 daily until you want your periods to come.

Don’t take more than 21 days.

While you take it, your period is held off. After you stop, bleeding usually starts within 2–4 days.

It’s not a contraceptive.

I trust this helps Thank you Take care

But I need my period to stop I am already bleeding first I need to stop that ,I am exhausted by it

Since your bleeding has been present for less than 1 hour and is only light spotting with some cramps, this may simply be the start of your period or mild hormonal spotting, which usually does not require any tablet to “stop” it. 1) Tab tranaxemic acid 500 1 tab three times daily for 3 days 2) Tab meftal spas 1 tab twice daily for 3 days 3) Tab pan 40 1 tab once daily before breakfast for 3 days. Please visit in person for better evaluation.

Stopping bleeding while out of station and unable to visit a hospital should be approached cautiously, and prioritizing safety is crucial. If you’re dealing with significant bleeding—such as from a wound, nose bleed, or a gynecological issue—it’s important to consider what can be safely managed without professional medical intervention. If bleeding is heavy or persistent, and especially if you feel dizzy, weak, or lightheaded, seeking emergency care is imperative, as uncontrolled bleeding can lead to serious complications. If the bleeding is external, applying direct pressure with a clean cloth or bandage to the area might help stop or slow it. Elevation of the affected area, if possible, can also assist in reducing blood flow to the site. Utilizing over-the-counter clotting powders or dressings designed for managing bleeding can be helpful in some situations, though they’re ideally used after consulting a healthcare provider. If you are considering medication specifically, it’s crucial to understand its appropriateness for your particular situation and any potential interactions with existing medications or conditions. Some people consider tranexamic acid (TXA), which is a prescription medication used in specific scenarios to promote clotting, but this should only be utilized under medical guidance because inappropriate use can pose risks. For menstrual bleeding, non-prescription options like NSAIDs (e.g., Ibuprofen) can reduce flow in some instances, but be aware of contraindications and don’t use them if they are not suitable due to other health issues. Without knowing the exact cause and location of the bleeding, providing more specific medication suggestions isn’t possible. Thus, using non-medication methods to control bleeding until you can receive professional medical evaluation would generally be safer.

Light spotting with cramps can sometimes occur due to hormonal changes, the start of a menstrual period, or minor irritation, and it may stop on its own without medication. It is not recommended to take tablets to stop bleeding without medical evaluation, as the cause must be known before treatment. Consult a Gynecologist or visit a nearby clinic if the bleeding increases, continues for several hours, or is associated with severe pain or dizziness.
