Don't know where to post this so I thought I'd try here... Does anyone know of an herbal remedy for constant periods, unfortunately surgery/D & C are not options at this time. My sister-in-Law is experiencing constant on and off bleeding and it is seriously affecting her strength and ability to function normally. She will be seeing her doctor when she returns to Ecuador but between now and then she prefers herbs to drugs.

Hello brihan,

Your Sister-in-law needs to see a doctor, and not wait if she is bleeding that badly. There could be many things that could be causing this problem. An herbal solution is not going to help, because none of us here can see her, check out her condition, or actually know anything about what could actually be wrong. But take her to a doctor as soon as you can, it could be life threatening, and she could actually die..... And THAT is not something I would want on my conscious for the rest of my life.

By the way, it's always good to introduce yourself as well, you have been a member for some time, and have never even said hi.

Blessings Bright and Dark,

Very much agree with Lady E, she needs a doctor now. With bleeding like this it could be very serious.

I hope all goes well with her, but please have her to a doctor right away.

I wish your sister-in-law much luck with this situation. This could be caused by any number of things and only a gyn can diagnose it. It could be a broken blood vessel or it could be more serious such as cervical dysplasia/cancer...or any other number of problems.
Again, these are things that only a qualified doctor, performing medical tests, can say. Even if you find someone, somewhere, that will tell you what type of herbs to take..I strongly suggest NOT taking them until she knows exactly what it is she is dealing with.

Her lack of energy could be due to anemia which can be caused by blood loss. A basic blood test will tell her if she has that or not. The only thing I would suggest is eating foods that are high in iron. But, it is very important to go to a doctor about anemia also because it can be very serious and if left untreated can lead to death.
If she takes vitamins and they are the wrong amount, she can die that way also. Iron is not a vitamin that will just pass out of the system as you use it (like vitamin C..the excess just passes in your urine).

So as you can see, self treating, even with something that seems as simple as vitamins, can be deadly. This is a medical problem that she needs treated by medical professionals.
Again, good luck to her. I hope that it is nothing serious and can be cured quickly and easily.
