[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Taking Ibuprofen has drastically reduced my menstrual flow. On my heaviest days I take 400 mg of Ibuprofen every 3-4 hours and one dose between 400-800 mg before bedtime.[/quote] I’m confused by this post and the previous lost mentioning ibuprofen. Ibuprofen notoriously slows clotting and increases bleeding. Most doctors will encourage you don’t take it before surgery or another procedure that causes bleeding. Did you try this experiment on your own or were you instructed to take it to lessen bleeding?[/quote] This is a known use. It's an anti-inflammatory, and that effect more than counterbalances the clotting issue, at least to some extent and for many women.
