Does ibuprofen lessen your period flow?

Question

Whether it’s over the counter or prescribed, does ibuprofen help lessen your period flow? Pre-IUD, I had heavy, painful periods and took 800mg ibuprofen for pain. It never lessened my flow. I’ve heard of this working for others, and even seen that some doctors use it as treatment for women with heavy periods. I’m curious how well it works.

Answer

if you are using it, make sure not to take more than what’s recommended. i drink 1 cup of non caffeinated raspberry tea every day i’m on my period & it’s LIFE CHANGING.. i used to have light periods on the pill, but i’m off it & it’s back to being super heavy, raspberry tea has been the only thing that’s truly helped reduce the flow.. just make sure you don’t drink more than 3 cups a day. i take it first thing in the morning & very rarely at night, but it helps me throughout the day.

How is a blood thinner supposed to help you bleed less?

Answer

Ibuprofen makes you bleed more. I don’t take that stuff when I’m on my period. I always take Advil or Tylenol
