Talk to Your Healthcare Professional

Starting the Conversation About Heavy Periods

Once you've decided to talk with your healthcare professional about Heavy Monthly Bleeding, starting the conversation still can be hard.

Many women view their menstrual periods as private and personal. But menstruation is a normal and natural part of life.

If you are having symptoms of Heavy Monthly Bleeding, don’t wait. It’s important to have an open and frank discussion with your healthcare professional.

Some tools can help you start the conversation:

  • The Doctor/HCP Discussion Guide includes what to tell your healthcare professional and questions to ask
  • The Menstrual Chart is a place where you can track your periods for several months to indicate how long they've lasted and how heavy your bleeding was
  • In addition, the MIQ Questionnaire can help your healthcare professional evaluate your situation

If you’re looking to significantly reduce your menstrual blood loss without the worry of hormones or surgery, ask your healthcare professional about LYSTEDA.

LYSTEDA is a non-hormonal prescription drug FDA approved to treat Heavy Monthly Bleeding. Could LYSTEDA be right for you? Learn more about LYSTEDA
