Hi,
Sorry if this is gross.
I have really heavy periods and I know that they might settle down (I've only had four so far, but they have been really bad - I can't walk more than 10 steps without having to rush to the toilet) eventually, but is there anything (other than going to the doctors, something I will only do as a last resort) I can do to make them even a little bit lighter? I dunno, natural remedies, food to avoid, drink less...anything?!
I also seem to have like a really weak bladder or something when I'm on my period and I always need the toilet (like always, and I do 'go' when I go to the toilet). Is there something wrong there? If so (or not) what can I do to make it so it isn't so bad? I've tried drinking less and even drank nothing on one day but it makes no difference.
Thanks!

You periods might lighten up as you get older, but they always will be heavy. Try using a super tampon to make it feel less disgusting. I have heavy periods also, and if its such a problem you need to change your tampon like all the time, go to the doctor. Birth control will be perscribed to try to 'regulate' your period. Besides using a large absorbancy tampon, try drinking lemon water. It helps flush you out and it should make everything feel better. Take your vitamins also especially while on your period.
