Can ginger help reduce heavy periods in women with bleeding disorders?
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This early-stage study tests whether ginger supplements can safely reduce heavy menstrual bleeding in women who have coagulation disorders (conditions that affect how blood clots). Researchers want to see if a natural approach might help without interfering with your blood-clotting condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a woman of childbearing age with a diagnosed coagulation disorder (a condition affecting blood clotting)
