What is the treatment for polymenorrhea?

Answer by  Rosebud (334)

Polymenorrhea can be treated by daily contraceptive pills to regularize periods and bleeding. Sometimes adjusting diet and dealing with stress and anxiety can help this condition. However, you should be tested for underlying conditions such as endometriosis. This condition is more common with menopausal women than women of childbearing age.
