Oralcon To Stop Prolonged Period Bleeding (Top voted first)

I am 47 years old and on the 28th August i started spotting on and off for about 2 weeks before my period started. My period has now been going for about 3 weeks non stop. I visited the clinic and they gave me Oralcon and said that I must take 2 white tablets immediately and thereafter 1 a day until my period stops. After the 2nd day of taking Oralcon my period had stopped but I was experiencing terrible stomach pain so I stopped taking the Oralcon and my period has started again. I dont have medical aid and I am unemployed so this is really stressing me terribly. What can I do? Is this normal for someone my age? Before this my last 2 periods only lasted 2 or 3 days then stopped.

Hello Lee,

Oralcon is a medicine that contains hormones that work to help regulate your period and prevent pregnancies. I feel like you should discuss this with your primary care physician because there are other similar products available that may work better for you and prevent this from happening again. I can't give you the names of these medicines as I am not a medical professional and it would be blind advise to do so, but your doctor should be able to help you.

Let us know what happens and how it turns out.

Thank you Kevin. I am going back to the clinic to discuss. I believe I am in perimenopause that's how come the prolonged period.
