Hormone treatment for heavy periods in teens and young adults
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies how a progestin hormone—given as an IUD or tablets—can help reduce heavy menstrual bleeding in people with certain bleeding-related conditions. It may help you by testing whether the treatment works and is practical for your situation.
