Byron A Brown is an MD who has a lot of experience dealing with reproductive issues that can occur in the female body. He has been helping women manage issues like menopause and menorrhagia for many years. Menorrhagia in particular, also known as a prolonged and/or unusually heavy bleed during a menstrual cycle, has effected many women all over the world.

Byron A Brown MD has built a strong reputation in the fields of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Treatment for menorrhagia differs based on many factors, and is usually tailored uniquely to each individual need. The factors that are taken into consideration for the method of treatment include the patient’s family history, desire for fertility, medical history, as well as the patient’s age. That is why treatment tends to differ from patient to patient.

The use of nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is known as a ‘first-line’ medical therapy for menorrhagia issues. These NSAIDs have been shown by studies to reduce menstrual blood flow by as much as 46%.

Another common treatment method for menorrhagia is an oral contraceptive pill. This is another popular ‘first-line’ treatment for women who don’t desire to become pregnant. These contraceptive pills are just as effective as NSAIDs when it comes to reducing menstrual blood loss. They work by suppressing the pituitary gonadotropin release, which prevents ovulation and ultimately, menstruation. There are some common side-effects to this method. These side-effects include breast tenderness, nausea, and sometimes weight gain.

A more extensive treatment is Progestin therapy. This is the most frequently prescribed medicine for menorrhagia. Studies for the drug have shown that Progestin significantly reduces the menstrual blood flow when used by itself. That is because the drug works as an antiestrogen, minimizing the effects of estrogen on certain cells, which help to mitigate heavy/prolonged menstruation. This treatment is known to have common side-effects however, such as headaches, edema, depression, and weight gain.

Danazol is another treatment method that prevents progesterone from binding to the body at the receptor level, helping to reduce heavy and prolonged menstruation. Side-effects of this drug include acne, decreased breast size, and in some rare instances, a lower voice.
