Cyclic Heavy Menstrual Bleeding is a common cause for referral to gynecologists.
Heavy Menstrual Bleeding is defined as excessive cyclic uterine bleeding that occurs at regular intervals
over several cycles.
Although not life threatening, cyclic Heavy Menstrual Bleeding can have a major impact and could get
in the way of a woman’s daily activities during her period. Effective treatment of
cyclic Heavy Menstrual Bleeding can result in substantial improvement in physical, social and leisure activities
of women.
Our research has shown that of the women who suffer from heavy periods, many have their own personal treatment preferences and are looking for relief starting with their next cycle1. In addition, more than 80 percent wish there were more non-hormonal treatments for heavy periods2.
Many patients express concerns about taking hormonal contraception for treatment of their heavy periods due to long-term health risks and side effects i.e. mood swings, weight gain, etc. associated with hormones1. If you have patients who desire a non-hormonal treatment option that is only taken during their period, then you may consider LYSTEDA as a first-line choice for their therapy.
