Hello, sagarika20-ga!


 I certainly understand your concern about the excessive bleeding and
then almost non-existence of your menstrual cycle. I am not a doctor,
and without a diagnosis from a good gynecologist, there is little we
can do here at GA to tell you why you are not having your period this
month.

 I can, however, provide you with a link that describes Revici-E. It
is a medicine used to stop hemmorhagic-type bleeding, both due to
surgery or excessive menstrual bleeding.

You can read about Revici at the following site:
http://www.keepharma.com/revici.htm  

 The medicine can be given in the dosage described in anticipation of
excessive menstrual bleeding:

 "Gynecology: In Menorrhagia & Metrorrhagia: 250-500 mg tid (according
to the severity of the case). In persistent menorrhagia, the treatment
recommended is 500 mg three times daily for 10 consecutive days,
starting 5 days before the expected date of menstruation."

 Revici-E can also be used to stop excessive menstrual bleeding, or
menorrhagia, as it is occuring.

 The following article provides some reasons for excessive bleeding
during the  menstrual cycle:

"Menorrhagia." 
http://www.geocities.com/nutriflip/Diseases/Menorrhagia.html

 "Menorrhagia is defined as excessively heavy or prolonged uterine
bleeding, which may be caused by medical problems or hormone
imbalances."

 "In a normal menstrual cycle, there is a balance between estrogen and
progesterone, two hormones in the body. These hormones regulate the
buildup of the endometrium (uterine lining of blood and tissue), which
is shed each month during menstruation. Menorrhagia can occur because
of an imbalance between estrogen and progesterone. As a result of the
imbalance, the endometrium keeps building up. When it is eventually
shed, there is heavy bleeding. Because hormone imbalances are often
present in adolescents and in women approaching menopause, this type
of menorrhagia - known as dysfunctional uterine bleeding - is fairly
common in these groups."

 "In menorrhagia, some women have very prolonged blood loss , with
only days before the next episode."

 "Heavy periods may be accompanied by cramp-like period pain, but some
women find even their heavy periods painless."

 "Many times there is no particular cause to be found. Sometimes a
structural irritation in the womb is to blame, such as a quite common
condition where there are localized areas of overgrowth of the muscle
wall of the womb (fibroids or fibromyomas), and when there is a coil
(or Intra Uterine Device) in the womb."

 "Heavy periods are more common after sterilization, and happen more
in women who are overweight, and also with certain hormonal upsets."

 (Read the entire article for possible solutions to keep heavy periods
at bay.)

 I am a bit curious as to why you have not been back to see a doctor?
Do you live quite a distance from a good medical facility? If not, I
suggest you schedule another visit as soon as possible, just to rule
out any other additional problems.

 Is pre-menopause an issue? Hormonal fluctuations can wreak havoc
during that time?

 Needless to say, a doctor's visit is a necessity for you. I hope you
will follow up so that you can get some peace of mind over this issue.
Please do so at your earliest convenience!

 In the meantime, don't get too worried. It could be something as
simple as hormonal fluctuations. However, only a doctor can tell!
