General information
Why does bleeding develop? This condition is the result of a violation of the integrity of large vessels or capillaries. Damage can be caused by tumor growth, trauma, or failure of the blood coagulation system. Often, when an acute internal flow occurs, hemostatic drugs are administered directly at the scene of the incident or while transporting the victim to the hospital.
Properly selected hemostatic agents for uterine bleeding and capillary local damage have an effect on the impaired primary link of hemostasis. In general, competent therapy involves the use of one, or in rare cases two, medications in optimal dosages. For example, for hemophilic bleeding, an infusion of fresh plasma or the drug “Cryoprecipiate” is used.
But medications such as Vikasol or calcium chloride are not used in such cases. The affected link in the hemostatic system can be determined in accordance with the anamnestic data and symptoms detected during the examination of the patient. In this regard, before carrying out therapy, the genesis of the disorder should be identified.
Nevertheless, local hemostatic drugs are allowed for use for any vascular external lesions of the mucous membranes. Medicines can have a broad or relatively limited spectrum of action. There are, for example, hemostatic drugs for hemorrhoids. The forms of medications are also different.

Folk remedies
There are some hemostatic folk remedies for uterine bleeding that are simple and safe to use without any risk of side effects. We will describe popular folk remedies for uterine bleeding, which have been used for a very long time and in many cases have proven to be quite effective:
- One of the simplest home remedies for dysfunctional uterine bleeding is to eat a balanced diet rich in iron. Consume foods such as eggs, beans, red meat, green leafy vegetables and iron-fortified cereals and breads.
- Garlic is considered one of the most effective home remedies for dysfunctional uterine bleeding. All you need to do is consume five to six cloves of garlic daily, which will reduce the discomfort and pain caused by heavy bleeding.
- The herb shepherd's purse is very effective in stopping uterine bleeding using folk remedies. Take a glass filled with water and then add one teaspoon of herb to it. Let the solution sit for the next two hours. Drink this liquid three times a day between meals.
- Consume fruits rich in vitamin C daily. Vitamin C is very useful for helping the body absorb iron better. Strawberries, orange and lemon juice, and kale are rich sources of vitamin C.
- Consuming Indian gooseberry (amla) is also very effective in treating this disease; this plant helps reduce bleeding and reduces pain. It is also a rich source of vitamin C.
The above-mentioned remedies for treating dysfunctional uterine bleeding are easy to use at home and are quite cheap.
Along with modern medications, uterine bleeding can also be combated with the help of medicinal herbs, which grow in large quantities in different regions of the Russian Federation.
Water pepper increases the speed of blood clotting processes, strengthens blood vessels, and improves their permeability. The plant is an excellent antiseptic and has wound healing and analgesic effects.
Horsetail is also characterized by a whole range of effects, the most striking of which are hemostatic, wound healing, anti-inflammatory, and diuretic.
For bleeding and decreased uterine tone, shepherd's purse is successfully used. The plant increases the tone of the uterus and stimulates the contraction of its smooth muscles.
However, the most popular representative of the flora, on the basis of which hemostatic drugs for uterine bleeding are made, is nettle. This plant is unpretentious and grows almost throughout Russia (and beyond its borders as well). Large doses of vitamin C contained in nettle leaves help strengthen blood vessels. The extract (again, from the leaves) significantly improves blood clotting and increases the tone of the uterus.
Hemostatic pills for heavy periods: will they help or not?
Many women are very familiar with such an unpleasant problem as excessive bleeding during menstruation. What to do if you have heavy menstruation? What pills to take and whether you need to see a gynecologist.
What periods are considered heavy: norms and critical numbers
Normal periods:
- last less than 7 days;
- less than 80 ml of blood is lost;
- discharge without blood clots;
- menstruation is not accompanied by fatigue and shortness of breath.
Normal heavy menstruation should be distinguished from uterine bleeding. The latter is characterized by a stream of discharge and a scarlet color.
Any violation of the norms is considered pathological and requires contacting a gynecologist. Unfortunately, constant discomfort, pain and increased bleeding for some reason do not bring women to the doctor’s office, but push them to self-medicate.
Reasons for heavy periods: why you need a gynecologist
Heavy periods rarely occur without a serious reason; more often it is a symptom of a gynecological disease. Therefore, before taking hemostatic pills, you need to find out the cause of heavy bleeding.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gkZoYanqS4
Causes of heavy menstruation:
Most often, heavy bleeding is caused by:
- Consequences of abortion or miscarriage;
- Deficiency of microelements responsible for thrombus formation - calcium, iron, vitamins K, C.
- Taking foods and medications that enhance the production of enzymes that prevent blood clotting. For example, these are kefir, fermented baked milk, etc.
- Hormonal imbalance associated with disease of the endocrine glands.
- Uterine cancer or tumors - fibroids, polyps and endometriosis.
- Inflammation in the reproductive organs.
Heavy uterine bleeding can also be caused by taking birth control medications incorrectly or by installing the wrong intrauterine device. If these conditions are not treated, but simply take pills to reduce bleeding, the disease will develop further. Complications of these gynecological pathologies include infertility, anemia, inflammation, and sometimes death.
When can you take pills for heavy periods?
You can take any medications only as prescribed by your gynecologist. The doctor will conduct an ultrasound, prescribe tests and make a conclusion about the diagnosis. Hemostatic drugs become part of complex therapy - they are prescribed to alleviate the condition and reduce the level of bleeding.
You must understand that tablets are different from tablets, even if they have the same focus. Their chemical composition, direct purposes, side effects and contraindications always differ, so it is unwise to blindly take a medication without a doctor’s prescription.
What medications do gynecologists prescribe for heavy menstruation?
In modern pharmacology, many drugs with the spectrum of action in question have been developed. List of medications that will help with heavy periods:
- Vikasol. The drug is far from modern, although it has proven itself to be quite good. Daily dose – 2 tablets. Helps with bleeding, acting after 12 hours. An overdose is dangerous: it can lead to hypervitaminosis K, toxicosis, and hyperbilirubinemia. Injections of the drug are possible, but they are painful.
- Trinixan. A new generation medicine, used in the form of tablets or injections. Daily dose – 250 mg.
- Dicynone. You can buy it without a prescription, it helps quite quickly. You need to take 3-4 tablets per day. Contraindication – thrombosis, etc.
- Tranexam. A very strong remedy, but unsafe, so you can’t buy it without a prescription. The drug is multifaceted: it is an antitumor, anti-infective, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic medicine. Sold in tablets and injections. It is better not to take this medicine for those who suffer from thrombosis, vision problems, thrombophlebitis, as well as in the presence of renal failure and certain heart diseases. There are also side effects: loose stools, vomiting, weakness, decreased appetite, blurred vision, tachycardia.
- Diferelin. It is used for excessively heavy periods, endometriosis and fibroids. The tablets regulate bleeding at the peripheral level, reducing it. Self-administration will lead to hormonal imbalances.
- Etamzilat. The big advantage of this drug is that it does not promote the formation of clots. No side effects have been found yet, but the drug is new, so “it’s not evening yet” and you can’t take this medicine unless necessary. Before use, consultation with a doctor is required. There are contraindications: the drug is prohibited for those who suffer from thrombosis or embolism.
- Ascorutin. A light hemostatic agent containing vitamins A and C. It also has an antioxidant effect.
Folk remedies for heavy menstruation
Instead of medications, the gynecologist may prescribe folk remedies.
Traditional medicine recipes for heavy periods:
- Water pepper. Pour a glass of boiling water over a spoonful of herbs. Take 1 tablespoon cooled 3 times a day.
- Barberry. A mixture of bark and roots in a ratio of 1:6, brewed and infused, helps with heavy uterine bleeding. But there is a contraindication: bleeding caused by ovarian dysfunction.
- Multi-colored carnation. Those same field “watches,” as this type of carnation is also popularly called. Decoctions from it help with heavy menstruation and uterine atony.
- Peppery knotweed. It can help very well, because its action is aimed at the circulatory and central nervous system, as well as directly at the muscles of the uterus, toning it. Peppermint plant gently constricts blood vessels, without having any effect on blood pressure.
This is just a negligible list of those remedies (both medicinal and folk) that can come to the aid of women suffering from heavy bleeding during menstruation.

Hemostatic drugs for heavy periods: types of drugs and remedies for bleeding
Menstruation is a natural process for any woman.
Normally, menstruation lasts no more than one week, and the daily volume of secretions is approximately 65-75 ml. If you add the number of mucus clots, then in total you can get about 250 ml per day. Deviation from the norm in any direction indicates heavy menstruation.
To treat the disease, hemostatic drugs during menstruation (hemostatics) are recommended.
Difference between bleeding and menstruation
Bloody mucous membranes can intensify for various reasons - infectious diseases, anemia, dysfunction of the central nervous system, pathologies of the genital organs, and so on. But, as a rule, menorrhagia develops against the background of hormonal imbalance, fibroids and inflammation of the endometrium or myometrium.
The difference between menorrhagia and bleeding can be determined by the following symptoms:
- Pinkish tinge of blood discharge (menstruation may also be accompanied by brown discharge).
- Untimely menstrual cycle.
- Every day the body loses more than 90 ml of fluid.
- The need to replace hygiene products appears every 4 hours.
- The blood is liquid, comes out in a trickle, flowing out in significant drops.
A gynecologist can prescribe suitable hemostatic drugs for heavy periods only after a thorough diagnosis of the woman. Medicines may take the form of injectable suspensions, tablets, herbal tinctures and capsules.
Hemostatic tablets during menstruation have some contraindications. This is the time of breastfeeding, allergic reactions, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis and thrombosis.

Treatment for fibroids
The risk of bleeding increases significantly during menopause. Hormonal imbalance makes menstruation unstable, causing the volume of discharge to constantly change. Violation of the monthly cycle, as a rule, occurs in the early stages of menopause, and women begin to use hormonal drugs for prevention purposes.
With the onset of menopause, the critical days end, and bleeding from the vagina in this case is considered an anomaly. Discharge that looks like menstruation indicates a malfunction of the body, including problems in the reproductive system. Self-medication in this case is contraindicated. Bleeding must be stopped in a hospital setting using hemostatic agents and hormonal agents.
During the development of a benign neoplasm in the genital organs, women regularly experience severe bleeding. If the general feeling is normal and the secreted secretion does not cause discomfort, then the situation can be corrected at home.
Hemostatic drugs for the development of fibroids:
- Infusion of water pepper - an alcohol-based composition is taken three times a day. A single dose is 0.5 tbsp. l. This composition accelerates blood clotting, so improvement is observed quite quickly, usually after the first dose. The infusion is used until the bleeding stops completely.
- Etamsylate and Dicynon - two tablets should be taken at the same time, washed down with a large volume of water. If after 2-4 hours the bleeding has not stopped, you can take one more tablet. The third time the drug can be taken only after 7 hours.
- Vikasol - one tablet 4 times a day.
Taking into account the indications during fibroids, a woman may also be recommended to use Ascorutin, Oxytocin and Tranexam.
Injections for bleeding
Oral administration of medications is quite effective, but they only act after 40-60 minutes. To achieve a faster effect, the gynecologist can prescribe injections, the effect of which can be noticed after 7-12 minutes.
Injections are prescribed for heavy bleeding and among these remedies the most common are:
- Aminocaproic acid is a synthetic drug that is usually used in hospitals. The acid stops the process of antibody formation and increases liver function, but the drug must be prescribed with caution to women with heart disease.

Uterine bleeding: causes and types
There are many reasons that provoke the development of uterine bleeding. Therefore, to simplify diagnosis, they are divided into two categories. The first includes uterine blood loss associated with abnormalities in various organs and systems (infectious diseases, blood and liver diseases, problems of the cardiovascular system, decreased functioning of the thyroid gland). In the medical community, these reasons are called extragenital (not genital).
The second category of uterine bleeding (genital) is provoked by various types of deviations in the sexual sphere. This group of bleeding is divided into pregnancy-related or unrelated. In the first case, only a doctor can (and should) decide which hemostatic drugs for uterine bleeding during pregnancy can be taken by a woman.
During pregnancy, bleeding is identified as the most common pathological process, the development of which is possible both in the early stages of pregnancy and in the later stages. The most commonly diagnosed causes of this pathology at the beginning of pregnancy can be an incipient miscarriage, an ectopic pregnancy, a frozen (non-developing) pregnancy, or a hydatidiform mole.
If a woman develops uterine bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy, ultrasound examinations are prescribed to assess the viability of the fetus. In case of positive results, certain hemostatic drugs are prescribed for uterine bleeding (tablets, injections, droppers). Such drugs include the hemostatic “Ditsinon”, antispasmodics to reduce the tone of the uterus (“No-shpa”, suppositories with papaverine), and progestin medications (“Utrozhestan”, “Duphaston”).
If bleeding develops at the end of pregnancy and the cause is placenta previa, it is practiced to prescribe droppers with magnesium, antispasmodics, antiplatelet agents (Curantil, Trental), beta-agonists (Ginipral).
Bleeding can occur due to quite a variety of factors. They can be caused by pathologies of the uterus, its appendages, as well as neoplasms. Often this condition occurs due to hormonal imbalance and is called dysfunctional bleeding. The body stops producing hormones that have a significant impact on the functioning of the female genital organs.
Among the reasons causing this unpleasant condition are:
- fibroids, polyps in the uterus;
- endometriosis, endometritis;
- endometrial cancer;
- ovarian pathologies (cyst, dysfunction, tumor);
- cervical diseases (erosion, dysplasia or cancer);
The cause of bleeding may be a lack of vitamins
- stressful situations;
- avitaminosis;
- poisoning;
- overwork;
- infertility.
In some cases, women with bleeding are diagnosed with dysfunction of organs such as the pituitary gland, thyroid or adrenal glands, as well as the endocrine system.
Bleeding in practice, as a rule, is caused either by a deficiency of any coagulation factor, for example, with viral hepatitis, mechanical jaundice, hemophilia, or with a low platelet count (with Werlhoff syndrome, against the background of aplastic anemia and other pathologies). Often, the triggering mechanism is the smallest, numerous thromboses in the capillaries.
They develop with further overuse of certain clotting factors and platelets. This, in turn, leads to hemorrhagic syndrome. A similar picture is observed against the background of severe shock (cardiogenic, traumatic), poisoning, septic conditions (including after a criminal abortion), extensive operations, especially with massive blood transfusions.
Causes of metrorrhagia
Normally, a woman should have bleeding from the uterus only during menstruation, in moderate quantities and for no more than 7 days. All other cases are pathological, their causes are divided into 2 groups: those associated with gynecological diseases and those associated with other factors.
Causes of gynecological bleeding:
- Inflammatory process in the uterus;
- The presence of neoplasms - polyps, adenomyosis, fibroids, malignant tumors;
- Termination of pregnancy - spontaneous or artificial;
- Pathological childbirth - atony or uterine rupture, placenta previa;
- Damage to the uterus - due to injury, curettage.
Reasons not related to gynecological pathology:
- Blood diseases with decreased clotting;
- Long-term use of aspirin, antiplatelet agents, anticoagulants;
- Stressful situations;
- Hormonal disorders – ovaries, thyroid, adrenal glands;
Reasons for violations
Since ancient times, women have used folk remedies to eliminate bleeding. For these purposes they used plants such as:
- Nettle. Decoctions of this herb help narrow blood vessels, increase blood clotting and get rid of severe bleeding. This is facilitated by the vitamins contained in nettles (C, K and A). To prepare the decoction, you need to take 3 tablespoons of dry herbs and 2 cups of boiling water. The ingredients are mixed and infused for 30 minutes. You should drink half a glass before meals in the morning, lunch and evening.
Nettle decoction will help stop bleeding
- Shepherd's purse, horsetail, plantain. One spoon of each ingredient should be poured into a container and pour half a liter of boiling water. When the product has infused, it is filtered. You should take the infusion three times a day, half a glass.
- Water pepper. It contains essential oils and vitamin C. They have a beneficial effect on the uterus and promote its contraction. The plant also has an analgesic effect. It is often used for pain during menstruation. Three spoons of the plant are poured into a container with 2 cups of boiling water. The product is infused for about an hour, then drunk half a glass three times a day, always before meals.
Heavy blood loss in women during menstruation (more than the daily norm of 80 ml) can be caused by various reasons. Before buying a hemostatic medicine at a pharmacy on the advice of a pharmacist, you should consult a gynecologist about this problem. Only a professional doctor will be able to determine the factor that caused the deviation from the norm and recommend a targeted hemostatic agent.
Hemostatic medications used during treatment are not a panacea for diseases that cause bleeding. They temporarily prevent the rapid outflow of blood to allow the body to make up for the resulting deficiency. The course of treatment is prescribed by a doctor and includes medications that act directly on the cause of the pathology.
Pills
Drug name | Description | Contraindications | Side effects |
Vikasol | Synthetic analogue of vitamin K. Designed to stimulate the synthesis of prothrombin | Pathologically high blood clotting, inflammatory thrombosis | Skin reactions in the form of itchy rashes |
Erythrostat | Vasoconstrictor drug based on medicinal herbs with an astringent effect | High blood pressure, pregnancy, lactation period | Manifestation of allergic symptoms |
Askorutin | Vascular strengthening effect along with a decrease in capillary permeability | Urological diseases, thrombosis | Rash, hives |
Dicynone | Stimulates the production of thromboplastin, which promotes accelerated formation of the primary thrombus | Thromboembolism, thrombosis | Headache, attacks of nausea, loss of sensation in the limbs |
Tranexam | Suppresses the formation of the protein plasmin, which is responsible for the resorption of blood clots | Cerebral hemorrhages, myocardial infarction | Vomiting, color vision problems, dizziness |
Patients aged 30-40 years are most often susceptible to this type of bleeding. One of the most important reasons is deviations in ovulation. As a result, endometrial growth is observed with inadequate development of blood vessels and glands, which causes blood stagnation, its accumulation, and deterioration of blood vessel permeability.
The doctor prescribes hemostatic drugs for uterine bleeding with a diagnosis of DUB depending on the woman’s health condition. If the signs of anemia are not very pronounced, the use of combined oral contraceptives containing progestins and estrogens is practiced.
It is worth mentioning right away that during menopause a healthy woman should not experience any bleeding. Therefore, if they do appear, this may be a signal of the development of polyps, uterine or endometrial cancer, or some other neoplasm. If bleeding occurs during menopause, you should immediately consult a doctor to conduct an examination and find out the reasons.
Typically, curettage of the uterine cavity is practiced in a hospital setting. In parallel with this procedure, hormonal and hemostatic medications are used. What hemostatic drugs are most often used for uterine bleeding during menopause? Usually these are “Vikasol”, “Oxytocin” to stimulate the contractile function of the uterus and iron-containing drugs to prevent the occurrence of iron deficiency anemia.
Modern hemostatic drugs for uterine bleeding have different indications for use. For example, the drug “Vikasol” is advisable to use in cases where bleeding is the result of insufficiency of prothrombin (the drug stimulates its synthesis). Unlike the previously described “Ditsinon”, “Vikasol” can cause the formation of blood clots, so the course of treatment with the described medication should not last more than 4 days. The effect of Vikasol occurs 12-18 hours after entering the body.
In addition to uterine bleeding, this medication is often used for hepatitis, cirrhosis, and overdose of certain drugs.
Good reasons for refusing to use this drug are the presence of diseases such as thrombophlebitis, acute myocardial infarction, and increased blood clotting in the patient.
Vikasol is offered to patients in the form of tablets and solution for injection.
What hemostatic drugs are used for heavy periods?
Normally, a woman’s menstruation lasts no longer than 5–7 days, occurs without severe pain, and blood loss does not exceed the maximum allowable value of 120 ml.
If a large amount of blood is released, there are clots, discomfort, or cycle disruptions, you should visit a doctor.
If the listed symptoms are caused by pathology of the pelvic organs, hemostatic drugs may be needed for heavy periods.
There are many factors that can provoke heavy bleeding, menstrual irregularities and pain in the lower abdomen. To eliminate these symptoms, the disease should be diagnosed before taking medications for severe blood loss. The following are the causes of excessive bleeding during menstruation:
- Inflammatory processes of the pelvic organs - salpingo-oophoritis, endometritis, sexually transmitted infections.
- Myometrial disorders are the layer of uterine epithelium next to the endometrium. When fibroids grow in the endometrium, the nodes affect the inner layer of the myometrium. It tries to get rid of foreign bodies by producing large amounts of menstrual blood and causing contractions.
- Hormonal imbalance - with increased estrogen production, the endometrial layer swells excessively, and during menstruation a large amount of blood with clots comes out.
- The beginning of menopause - there is a decrease in the volume of estrogen production, menstruation becomes irregular, scanty or, conversely, abundant.
- Malignant formations - with the growth of an oncological tumor, at the stage of its disintegration, menstruation becomes abundant, contains clots and is painful.
To treat the listed pathologies, curettage is used, antibiotics, hormonal, hemostatic drugs, and agents to increase or reduce blood clotting are prescribed.
Medicines to reduce the volume of discharge during menstruation
Normally, during menstruation, a woman loses 40-120 ml of blood, on average - 80 ml. If this volume is exceeded, forces you to change pads every 1.5-2 hours, is accompanied by pain and the presence of clots, you need to visit a gynecologist. Only a specialist can select pills for heavy bleeding during menstruation, depending on the reason that provoked it.
Hormonal drugs to reduce menstrual flow
Hormonal drugs with contraceptive function are considered effective pills that stop heavy bleeding during menstruation. They reduce the production of hormones, as a result of which the growth of the endometriotic uterine layer slows down, ovulation is inhibited, menstruation becomes scanty, and artificial menopause is created.
Medicines used for heavy periods:
Oral contraceptives
Among hormonal contraceptives, Zhanine and Yarina stand out - three-phase drugs that help reduce menstrual bleeding. They contain substances that block the production of estrogen, so that the endometrium does not grow, the vessels and uterine layer do not swell, and very little blood is released during menstruation.
Duphaston
The drug does not have contraceptive functions, but also suppresses ovulation and reduces pathological uterine bleeding. Duphaston is prescribed to patients with endometriosis, fibroids and endometrial hyperplasia. It should be taken 7-10 days before the start of the expected menstruation. After 2 days, menstruation begins with scanty dark brown discharge and lasts 1–3 days.
You should not self-prescribe medications for heavy bleeding during menstruation, since each drug has contraindications and side effects. Women are advised to donate blood to determine hormone levels and select a suitable oral contraceptive.
If the patient’s general well-being allows treatment at home, then she is prescribed the following hemostatic tablets for heavy periods:
Tranexam
Pills that have a long-lasting and effective effect in reducing the volume of blood lost during menstruation, the disadvantage is that they are not cheap.
The product is not only hemostatic, but also anti-inflammatory, fights allergic reactions, suppresses the proliferation of microbial flora, eliminates pain, and has a hemostatic effect. The maximum effect occurs 3 hours after administration.
Hemostatic tablets for heavy periods Tranexam or Trinixan are taken one tablet three times a day for 4 days in a row, before the onset of menstrual periods. The drug is not prescribed to patients with thrombosis and renal failure.
Side effects include: itching of the skin, dizziness, fatigue, dyspepsia, vision problems, abnormal heart rate.
Dicynone
A substance that quite quickly stops heavy bleeding, but it is recommended to use it only in an emergency. The effect will become noticeable 3-4 hours after administration.
Dicynone should be taken 1 or 2 tablets 3 times a day. Contraindications include: breastfeeding, low blood pressure, increased blood viscosity, thrombosis.
Side effects of the drug are swelling of the face, headaches, nausea.
Etamzilat
The drug helps normalize blood supply to tissues and vascular permeability. If you take the medicine, bleeding decreases, but the rate of blood clotting remains the same.
The product cannot be combined with any hemostatic drugs. Side effects include heartburn and headaches.
The use of Etamzilat is not recommended for patients with thrombosis, hemorrhage and intolerance to the active ingredients.
Vikasol
A product containing a high-quality analogue of vitamin K, necessary for normal blood clotting. With vitamin deficiency, the formation of prothrombins decreases, which is why heavy discharge is observed during menstruation. Careless use of tablets can cause skin itching, bronchospasm, and rashes.
Askorutin
The drug, the content of which is represented by vitamins C and P, that is, ascorbic acid and routin, belongs to the group of vascular tonic drugs.
It is necessary for increasing the tone of capillaries, restoring their firmness and elasticity, for women after cesarean section and during menopause. To reduce heavy periods, the drug is prescribed 4 tablets per day for a course of 14–21 days.
Women with thrombosis and urolithiasis should not take the drug; side effects are nausea, sleep disturbances, nervous system excitability, sudden jumps in blood pressure.
Fibrinogen
Contains natural blood, increases clotting. Aminocaproic acid is prescribed along with the tablets to avoid thrombosis. Therapy is recommended after surgical interventions on the uterus if they provoked severe blood loss during menstruation.
Vidanol

Medicine "Vikasol"
This medication is a water-soluble synthetic analogue of vitamin K. This drug helps stop only such bleeding, which is caused by a reduced level of prothrombin. This, in turn, is caused by a deficiency of vitamin K. The drug "Vikasol" stimulates prothrombin synthesis by liver cells.
Indications for the use of this drug include hemostasis disorders in cirrhosis, hepatitis, renal-hepatic syndrome, obstructive jaundice. The drug is recommended for bleeding due to an overdose of indirect anticoagulants (Pelentan, Neodicoumarin and others). The medication is not effective in Werlhof's disease and hemophilia.
The drug has some effect on menopausal and juvenile uterine and ulcerative bleeding. The effect of the medication is observed no earlier than 12-18 hours after its administration. Like many hemostatic agents for uterine bleeding, the drug "Vikasol" is available in tablet form and as a solution.
Oral medication is recommended at a dose of 0.015 g/2-3 times/day. Hemostatic injections "Vikasol" are prescribed intramuscularly, 1 ml of a one percent solution 1-2 times a day, in a row for no more than four days (due to the likelihood of thrombosis). Contraindications to the use of the drug include myocardial infarction (acute), thrombophlebitis, and increased coagulability.
Hemostatic agents of traditional medicine
Not only pharmaceutical drugs, but also folk remedies for menorrhagia help women stop heavy menstrual flow. Herbal infusions constrict blood vessels and help blood clot faster. It is recommended to take herbal medicines for prophylactic purposes several days before the expected onset of menstrual flow.

PS Remember that heavy menstruation is always a cause for concern. Problematic periods are often associated with chronic inflammatory diseases that harm the reproductive system and the entire body. Therefore, menorrhagia cannot be ignored.
In folk medicine there are probably hundreds of herbs that stop bleeding. And some of them are in every home.
Nettle
This is the most famous and easily available herb. It contains the components necessary for normal hematopoiesis - vitamins K and C. Vitamin K is called antihemorrhagic for its ability to stop bleeding. If you are prone to heavy periods, drink nettle infusion 5 times a day, 50 ml.
Recipe No. 1
Nettle works well with other blood-stopping herbs. Birdweed, yarrow, shepherd's purse and nettle in equal parts are mixed and 2 tablespoons of 250 ml of boiling water are brewed. Infuse the broth for half an hour. Take 3-4 times a day, 75 ml.
Hog queen
Another universal herb that is indicated for uterine bleeding of any etiology is boron uterus. Moreover, it not only stops bleeding, but can bring hormonal levels into order and helps with endometriosis, uterine fibroids and infertility. Borovaya uterus has a serious effect on the body, so its use, as well as tablets, must be coordinated with your doctor. It is taken in the form of alcoholic tinctures, decoctions and infusions.
Recipe No. 1
The tincture can be prepared at home from 2 glasses of vodka and 5 tablespoons of dry raw materials. They insist on it for 20 days in the dark. Take courses of 25 drops per day for 21 days. Then you need to take a break for 10 days and, if necessary, repeat the course.
Recipe No. 2
2 tablespoons of the herb are poured into 2 cups of boiling water and simmered over low heat for 15 minutes. Take 25 ml three times a day before meals.
Vitamin P
This remedy is a complex of tea catechins. Vitamin P slows down the activity of hyaluronidase (it dissolves the connective tissue base in the capillary wall), reducing to some extent the fragility and permeability of small-caliber vessels. At the same time, vitamin P prevents the oxidation of ascorbic acid.
This also has a strengthening effect on the capillary wall. The most common vitamin P preparation is the drug “Rutin”. It is a greenish-yellow powder, insoluble in water. The drug "Rutin" to some extent reduces the severity of hemorrhagic skin rash against the background of Werlhof's disease and capillary toxicosis.
The drug is prescribed for hemorrhages in the retina, measles, septic endocarditis, scarlet fever. When using vitamin P, there are practically no thromboses and there are no contraindications. The medicine is produced in tablet form in pure form, 0.02 g and in combination with ascorbic acid (Ascorutin) (0.5 g of each component). For adults, the medication is recommended in a dosage of 0.02-0.05 g/3 r/day.
The child was born...
Quite often, women experience heavy periods after the birth of a child. In most cases, this is due to the normalization of hormonal levels or restoration of the structure of the uterus and its functions. Menstruation lasting more than 7 days is a reason to contact a gynecologist. Usually in such cases, the doctor prescribes iron-containing drugs as drug therapy (to prevent the development of iron deficiency anemia) and hemostatic drugs.
For uterine bleeding after childbirth, the most common practice is to prescribe the drug “Totema”, aminocaproic acid. These medications are produced by the manufacturer and offered to patients in the form of drinking ampoules and are part of a medical regimen designed to restore the body after childbirth.
Description
Normal menstruation is considered to last 3-6 days, during which a total of 80-150 ml of blood is released. The heaviest discharge occurs in the first two days of menstruation, after which its volume decreases. However, there are deviations from the norm, for example, intense menstruation lasting a week or more, with heavy discharge throughout its entire period. In medicine, this condition is called menorrhagia.
There is no clear boundary between normal and pathological menstruation, and the volume of discharge is determined by the number of pads (tampons) changed per day. If a girl uses more than 7 of them per day, and they fill completely in a short time, doctors talk about menorrhagia.
In addition to heavy discharge, menstruation with this disorder may be accompanied by the following symptoms:
- nagging pain in the abdomen;
- nausea;
- dizziness;
- dark and large clots in the discharge.
Important! Any unusual symptoms are a reason to urgently consult a doctor, as excessive blood loss leads to general weakness, decreased hemoglobin levels and anemia.
Epsilon-aminocaproic acid
This medication has a hemostatic effect mainly due to the fact that it inhibits the processes that ensure blood thinning. Hemostatic drugs (for uterine bleeding) based on aminocaproic acid sharply increase blood clotting. This happens due to the massive release from body tissues of substances that stimulate the coagulation system (contraindicated for DIC). After entering the body, it will manifest itself within 2-3 hours.
This product comes in the form of a white crystalline powder. The substance is tasteless and odorless, highly soluble in water. Epsilon-aminocaproic acid has a powerful hemostatic effect (local and general), slowing down the activity of the fibrinolytic structure. At the same time, the medication reduces the tryptic activity exhibited by digestive juices.
Epsilon-aminocaproic acid is prescribed for gingival, nasal, intestinal, gastric, urinary, and renal bleeding of various origins, for Werlhoff syndrome, hemophilia, aplastic anemia, and after curettage of the uterus, among others. In hospital settings, the medication is used after interventions on the lungs, prostate, and in case of premature detachment of a normally located placenta.
The drug is prescribed orally at a dose of 3-5 g/3-4 r/day. It is recommended to drink the powder with sweet water. In addition, epsilon-aminocaproic acid is administered both as a stream and as a drip into a vein, 100 ml each. The medication is successfully used for local hemostasis in case of bleeding from the nasal mucosa or tooth socket after extraction. In this case, the powder is generously sprinkled on the affected area.
When taken orally, the medication does not have an irritating effect on the digestive tract. In extremely rare cases, patients may complain of nausea. After intravenous administration, the maximum effect is observed after 1-4 hours. Epsilon-aminocaproic acid has contraindications. These include, in particular, kidney failure (acute course), thrombosis.
Review of hemostatic agents prescribed for menorrhagia
The main directions in the treatment of uterine bleeding are the blood coagulation system and the myometrium. In the first case, the use of certain drugs helps to increase blood clotting, which results in its stopping.
The use of drugs whose action is aimed at increasing the tone of the uterus also makes it possible to stop the flow of blood from it by narrowing the lumen of damaged vessels by tensing the muscles of the uterus.
Hemostatic medications should be taken according to the doctor’s recommendations and instructions for their use. You can find out special instructions and side effects when using a particular drug.
Bleeding during menstruation leaves women in shock. But if you immediately consult a doctor, you will be able to quickly stop the process and prevent negative health consequences. As first aid, patients are prescribed the following hemostatic drugs for heavy periods:
- Dicynone.
- Tranexam.
- Vikasol.
- Etamzilat.
- Ascorutin.
- Diferelin.
Dicynone and Ascorutin are sold without a prescription. Other medications can only be purchased if you have a detailed prescription from a doctor.
Dicynone
The drug comes in the form of tablets and ampoules. When taking Dicinon orally, a woman with menorrhagia takes 1–2 tablets 2–3 times a day.
The medicine is effective for fibroids and capillary and parenchymal blood loss. In moderate dosages, it is taken for thromboembolism, thrombosis, porphyria and allergic reactions to components, or not used at all if the disease is severe.
Tranexam
Modern tablets for bleeding during menstruation Tranexam make the discharge moderate and exhibit antihistamine, antitumor and anti-inflammatory effects.
The recommended dosage regimen is 3 tablets per day with an interval of 6 hours. Duration of therapy – 3 days.
The side effects of Tranexam are:
- Thrombosis of deep veins and cerebral vessels.
- Allergy to constituent components.
- Bleeding in the meninges.
- Pathological kidney function.
Vikasol
An analogue of synthetic vitamin K belongs to the older generation of drugs. It replenishes the deficiency of a useful substance and accelerates blood clotting.
For heavy periods, Vikasol is taken in the amount of 2 tablets per day. Your gynecologist will advise you on how long to use the medication. Treatment is carried out strictly under medical supervision.
Side effects of Vikasol are manifested by skin reactions:
- Rash.
- Itching.
- Redness.
- Urticarial spots.
- Possible bronchospasm.
Etamzilat
A cheap analogue of Dicinon stabilizes blood microcirculation and strengthens blood vessels.
In the process of treating menorrhagia with Etamsylate, thromboplastin is formed in the body. The substance reduces bleeding, but does not reduce blood clotting time. In terms of thrombosis, thromboplastin is safe. Etamzilat acts quickly, the effect is felt 15 minutes after administration.
Askorutin
The list of hemostatic tablets for heavy periods includes Ascorutin (ascorbic acid rutin, vitamins C and P, respectively).
The drug stops heavy bleeding and has a beneficial effect on blood vessels. For menorrhagia, Ascorutin is taken 4 tablets per day for a 2-3 week course.
Despite the vitamin composition of the drug, it can cause quite unpleasant phenomena. A person experiences nausea, vomiting, and insomnia. Allergic problems and increased blood pressure are possible.
Diferelin
You can take Diferelin to stop heavy periods only with the consent of your doctor.
Drug intolerance, dosage violations and side effects lead to depression, migraines and allergies. Diferelin has few contraindications:
- Breast-feeding.
- Osteoporosis.
- Triptorelin intolerance.
Medical gelatin
Collagen hydrolyzate is a colorless gelatinous mass or yellowish leaves. When administered intravenously, the medication increases blood viscosity and platelet stickiness. This ensures a fairly rapid and pronounced hemostatic effect in cases of internal bleeding.
These include, among others, intrapleural and gastrointestinal. A lesser effect is observed with damage to the vascular network of the mucous membranes. An allergy is an adverse reaction. The medicine is mainly prescribed intravenously in a dose of 50-100 ml of a solution heated to 37 degrees. The medicine is produced in ampoules of 10 ml of ten percent gelatin in five percent sodium chloride.
Fibrinogen K3 or M2
Fibrinogen is a colorless protein dissolved in blood plasma. According to the international nomenclature, this is factor I (first) of the coagulation system. If any vessel in the body is damaged, the process of hemostasis (blood clotting) starts, resulting in the formation of a blood clot (thrombus), which slows down and then stops bleeding altogether.
Such hemostatic agents for uterine bleeding, such as Fibrinogen, are prescribed in medical practice for use together with epsilon-aminocaproic acid. This is done so as not to accidentally provoke microclotting of the blood.
Patients are offered the medication only in the form of powder for injection.
This is a human blood product, clotting factor I. It is used for afibrinohemic bleeding. Administered intravenously (up to 1.8-2 g of dry matter per day). Before use, the powder is dissolved directly in a physiological (sterile) solution, the temperature of which is 25-30 degrees. The infusion is carried out with the obligatory presence of a filter in the system, since elements of insoluble protein may be detected in the solution. Infusion is not prescribed for myocardial infarction (acute), thrombophlebitis.
"Ditsinon" is a modern effective remedy
The drug "Dicinon" (etamsylate) is currently one of the most effective means used to stop uterine bleeding. Its active components directly affect capillary walls, reducing their fragility. Under the influence of this drug, blood clotting and microcirculation improve.
“Ditsinon” does not have a constricting effect on the vessels themselves and does not provoke the development of thrombus formation (not all hemostatic drugs for uterine bleeding have such characteristics). Dicynon injections begin to act within a very short period of time (15-20 minutes), and the duration of their effect is about 4 hours.
Contraindications for the use of this medication include the presence of malignant blood diseases, thrombosis and hypersensitivity to the main and auxiliary components of the drug.
This medicine is offered to patients in two forms of release - injections and tablets.
The effect of hemostatic drugs
Similar medications for heavy periods are available in the form of tablets, capsules, and herbal tinctures. They are selected individually, taking into account the characteristics of the female body. In some situations, herbal tinctures are prescribed. The effect of such hemostatic drugs is aimed at narrowing blood vessels and increasing blood clotting. If you have heavy periods, which are repeated several times, it is recommended to start taking it shortly before they begin. In this way, you can reduce the amount of discharge during your next menstruation. Preparations made from a natural base are prescribed to women who are allergic to the synthetic composition of the tablets.
In turn, pills that are used for heavy periods act faster. If you managed to reduce blood loss once, it does not mean that it will help constantly.
Medicine "Trasylol"
This drug is obtained from the parotid glands of cattle. The medication is able to slow down the progression of intravascular microcoagulation and break down trypsin. It is prescribed for bleeding accompanying extensive tissue injuries, after septic abortions, against the background of acute leukemia (promyelocytic, for example) and other conditions.
Dosage 10-20 thousand units intravenously drip per day 1-2 times in a five percent glucose solution (or physiological). Typically, the medication is administered in a hospital setting. The medication is also used for chronic and acute forms of pancreatitis, mumps. Among the side effects, the most common are: allergies up to anaphylactic shock, as well as phlebitis at the injection site.
How to stop bleeding during menopause and fibroids
The risk of uterine bleeding increases significantly during menopause. Hormonal changes make the cycle unstable, causing the volume of discharge to be inconsistent. MC disruption is usually observed in the early stages of menopause, and women begin to take hormonal medications for prevention.
With the onset of menopause, menstruation stops, and bleeding from the genital tract in this case is an anomaly. Menstrual-like discharge indicates problems in the body, in particular in the reproductive department. Self-medication is prohibited. Bleeding during menopause is stopped in a hospital setting using hormonal drugs and hemostatic agents (Oxytocin and Vikasol).
With the development of a benign tumor in the reproductive system, women periodically experience heavy bleeding. If you feel satisfactory and the discharge does not flow in a trickle, you can correct the situation at home. If the condition is critical, you must call an ambulance.
What hemostatic agents are used for fibroids:
- Vikasol - 1 tablet three times a day.
- Dicynone/Etamsylate – 2 tablets are drunk immediately with plenty of water. If bleeding has not stopped within 3 hours, take 1 more tablet. The medicine is taken for the third time after 6 hours (in the amount of 1 tablet).
- Tincture of water pepper - an alcoholic preparation is consumed 3 times a day. Single dosage – 1 tsp, washed down with water. The tincture accelerates blood clotting, so improvement occurs quickly, often after the first dose. Take the drug until the bleeding stops completely.
Many women suffering from regular uterine bleeding prefer to deal with this problem at home. For these purposes, you can use various traditional medicine recipes that have a targeted effect. Experienced specialists recommend the use of herbs, herbs, tinctures and other folk remedies in the complex treatment of uterine bleeding, as a supplement or prevention.
For various gynecological diseases, in particular with heavy uterine bleeding, the boron uterus can be used. This plant has unique pharmacological properties and is recommended for the treatment of serious gynecological diseases. While taking boron uterus, women's hormonal levels begin to normalize, fertility is restored, and uterine bleeding stops.
Before starting to take a tincture or decoction of this medicinal plant on her own, a woman should consult a herbalist or her doctor to determine the duration of treatment and dosage. In the case when a woman is undergoing hormonal therapy, the use of boron uterus is not advisable, since it contains large quantities of estrogen.
Protamine sulfate
This is a protein derivative that has the ability to form insoluble complexes with thromboplastin and heparin. The drug is prescribed for hemorrhages caused by hyperheparinemia. It, in turn, is the result of an overdose or increased production of endogenous heparin. The medication provides a fairly quick (within 1-2 hours) stop of blood flow.
As a rule, a one percent solution in a volume of 5 ml is administered intramuscularly or intravenously. If necessary, re-infusion is carried out after 15 minutes. During therapy with protamine sulfate, clotting time should be monitored. The medication is available in ampoules of five milliliters of a one percent solution.
