Haemostatic agents for uterine bleeding
Many women of reproductive age often face the problem of uterine bleeding. The normal menstrual cycle lasts for 5-7 days, while the total blood loss is up to 80 ml of blood. In the event that various diseases develop in the organs of the genitourinary system, a woman may start bleeding. Large blood loss is often observed in both the postpartum and menopause.
Modern medicine is seriously studying this pathology. Specialists from around the world are conducting research on uterine bleeding. Based on the results obtained, drugs are being developed, the pharmacological properties of which help to cope with this problem.
Currently, modern medical institutions are successfully combating uterine bleeding. The main condition for a successful recovery is hospitalization. In the course of treatment, each patient is individually selected a medication that is administered intravenously or orally. In advanced cases, doctors perform a surgical stop of bleeding by means of diagnostic curettage. If none of these methods helped eliminate the existing problem, doctors insist on removing the uterus.

List of hemostatic agents:
Dicinone with uterine bleeding
With uterine bleeding, synthetic drugs are often prescribed, which have a beneficial effect on the mucous membrane of the uterine cavity. Such a drug is dicinone.
Its pharmacological properties include the following:
- the ability to activate the process of formation of protein-thromboplastin;
- normalization of blood clotting
- prevents the formation of blood clots.
Dicinon is available in several forms: in tablets, in injections. This drug has proven to be effective for bleeding, the localization of which is small vessels. After taking dicinone (only the attending physician should prescribe the dosage), the woman will be able to feel the effect after a few hours. Multiple testing of this drug has shown that the best result is achieved when taking pills than intramuscular injections.
To stop uterine bleeding, specialists use the following scheme: two ampoules of dicinone are injected intravenously (you can intramuscularly), after which every six hours this drug is prescribed in tablet form. In order to prevent bleeding, the patient should take this drug orally, starting from the 5th day of the menstrual cycle.
Tranexam for uterine bleeding
The tranexam is rightfully considered the first aid for uterine bleeding, since it is very quickly able to cope with this problem. This drug has a direct effect on the blood coagulation process and directly affects plasminogen (inactive). Tranexam is now available in pharmacies, both as pills and injections (intramuscularly).
If there is moderate blood loss, then the tablets will suffice. When determining the dosage, the physician should take into account the patient's weight and the severity of the disease. Tranexam is often prescribed to prevent uterine bleeding, especially when preparing patients for surgical procedures.
Vikasol with uterine bleeding
Vikasol is a synthetic medicine that can replace vitamin K, which is important for women's health, and is actively involved in the production of prothrombin. In the absence or insufficient amount of this vitamin, women develop bleeding.
After taking Vicasol, patients experience relief only after 12-18 hours, which is why it is not used when providing emergency assistance. Despite this, many doctors often prescribe this drug in the complex therapy of uterine bleeding, as well as for prophylactic purposes. Vikasol is prescribed to pregnant women after the onset of the first contractions in order to prevent the development of bleeding, which can develop during the onset of the active phase of labor.
Etamsylate for uterine bleeding
For menstrual bleeding, doctors often prescribe medications that can significantly reduce the volume of your period.
A great effect is achieved when taking etamsylate, which has extensive pharmacological properties:
- has the ability to stop bleeding;
- activates the processes responsible for blood clotting and the rate of platelet adhesion;
- increases the elasticity and stability of capillaries, etc.
While taking etamsylate, patients do not experience internal discomfort, since this drug has a smooth effect on the female body. In the course of numerous studies, it was revealed that ethamsylate does not cause sharp blood coagulation, due to which blood clots do not form. It is prescribed for all types of bleeding, in particular uterine. Very often, ethamsilate is included in the program for the treatment of heavy menstrual flow, as well as otolaryngological, dental and ophthalmic diseases.
Oxytocin for uterine bleeding
With the development of uterine bleeding, the first action of a specialist is to prescribe a drug to a woman, which is able to quickly provide the necessary assistance. Oxytocin, which has a selective effect on the uterus, is capable of stopping blood loss.
After taking oxytocin in the female body, there is an increased excitability of muscle fibers, against which strong contractions begin. This drug can be prescribed both in tablet form and in the form of intravenous injections.
Ascorutin for uterine bleeding
Ascorutin, which has been actively used in gynecology for many years, is capable of providing real help to women suffering from heavy periods, often developing into uterine bleeding.
This medicine contains the following main components: vitamin P (rutin) and ascorbic acid. Its direct effect on the female body is to strengthen the walls of blood vessels, prevent capillary fragility and permeability.
With prolonged use of ascorutin (the duration is determined by the attending physician), tissue regeneration occurs, and the protective functions of the female body are activated, capable of resisting any negative effects.
Vikasol with uterine bleeding
An effective synthetic drug that can replace and saturate the female body with vitamin K is vicasol. This drug activates the process of prothrombin production, which has a direct effect on blood clotting. Despite the fact that in the treatment of uterine bleeding, vicasol has proven to be effective, its appointment should be very careful.
Like any other hemostatic drug, vikasol has contraindications, which include: thromboembolism and increased blood clotting. That is why self-administration of this drug is prohibited. All appointments should only be given by the attending physician.
Etamsylate (injections) for uterine bleeding
Etamsylate is a medicinal product with hemostatic properties. While taking this drug in patients, there is a strengthening of blood vessels, an increase in platelet cells in the bone marrow, etc. After the appointment of etamsylate in women, the fragility of blood vessels is significantly reduced, and the level of ascorbic acid in the blood plasma stabilizes.
When taking this drug, the effect is observed after 10-15 minutes. Having had a beneficial effect on the patient's body, ethamsylate begins to break down very quickly and be excreted during urination.
Aminocaproic acid for uterine bleeding
Aminocaproic acid is a synthetic medicine often used to stop uterine bleeding. Its appointment should take place only in a hospital, where doctors have the opportunity to regularly monitor the quality of the patients' blood through a laboratory study - a coagulogram.
Aminocaproic acid is able to improve the functionality of the liver, as well as inhibit the formation of antibodies.
How to stop uterine bleeding at home?
Many women who suffer from regular uterine bleeding prefer to deal with this problem at home. For these purposes, you can use various recipes of traditional medicine that have a targeted effect. Experienced experts recommend using herbs, teas, tinctures and other folk remedies in the complex therapy of uterine bleeding, as a supplement or prevention.
Which herb stops uterine bleeding?
For various gynecological diseases, in particular with heavy uterine bleeding, the boron uterus can be used. This plant has unique pharmacological properties and is recommended for the treatment of serious gynecological diseases. Against the background of taking the boron uterus in women, hormonal levels begin to normalize, fertility is restored, and uterine bleeding stops. Before starting to take a tincture or decoction of this medicinal plant on her own, a woman needs to contact a herbalist or her doctor to determine the duration of treatment and dosage. In the case when a woman is undergoing hormonal therapy, then the use of the boron uterus is not advisable, since it contains large amounts of estrogen.

Nettle is indicated for uterine bleeding in the form of a decoction, which should be drunk up to 5 times a day, 2 tablespoons.
- Water pepper. For centuries, this herb has been used to stop bleeding. This is due to its unique tanning properties, thanks to which the blood clotting process is significantly accelerated. In parallel, water pepper has a bactericidal effect on the female body, reduces capillary fragility and makes the vessel walls more elastic.
- Yarrow. This herb is often used for uterine bleeding, as it can activate the clotting processes, while preventing the formation of thrombosis. Yarrow is recommended to be taken as a tincture, which can be purchased ready-made, or prepared by yourself. The duration of taking a tincture from this medicinal plant depends on the intensity of bleeding.
