I know how you feel, as I had memorrhagia too and I had many "operations" trying to help it to no avail. Childbirth also didn't help me with it. Even interestingly enough--MENOPAUSE! Well...sort of--as I thought I went throug menopause after 1 year and 2wks and then BAM! it started all over again. For the next oh, 6 mos. which I found out then is common. My doctor told me they now tell women - 2yrs. before you can consider yourself period free now. who knew?
anyway, I always found chamomile tea and ginger root (or ginger tea or ginger ale) helped me immensely with my cramps and pains. Also my grandma's recipe for "Jello Tea", which many here on A.T. hear me always talking about. Recipe below:
Jello Tea: 1. boil some water as if for tea
2. pour half a packet of your fave jello flavor into a tea/coffee mug
3. add the boiling water and drink it slowly.
this truly helps to relax you and your muscles and helps so much!
Also try cinnamon. Even cinnamon tea. Cinnamon is suppose to help you with heavy periods. You can even add 1 TBL of cinnamon into your mug of hot water, stir and add honey. Drink this 3-4 x a day to help w/the heavy bleeding.
Parsley is also good to help reduce heavy bleeding. So, sprinkle some on your foods or boil some parsley and then after it comes to a heavy boil, let it sit awhile--pour into a glass and drink it before each meal. Its suppose to be better this way, but I'd rather just eat it on foods--not as potent that way--but still can help some.
Papaya is another good thing to help with heavy bleeding and cramping and sesame seeds too!
However, if you are pregnant, be sure to check w/your doctor on all these, as some of them can also cause miscarriages. Just be sure to check--its always safer to do so.
And, of course, rest and relaxation and a heating pad helps a lot too! You may also need to start this a few days before your next period to get it working before it starts. Good Luck.
