Heavy periods
Dear Arka / Tanusree,
When I was diagnosed in 2016, my periods were VERY heavy. Over two weeks. I thought it was menopause. My hematologist said in blood disorders, the platelets weren't enough to keep the periods discharge normal. After about a year of steroids, my period suddenly stopped, also a norm in blood disorders.
Some of my younger patients took drugs to stop the periods altogether, since the periods were too heavy.
Per your question on any medicines/ treatment for management of platelets,
In the three blood lines, my platelets dropped dramatically so I used to need platelet transfusions every 10 days.
Meri
