Avatar n tn (although I did almost faint about 6-7 months ago, during my period, but no cramping, just nausea due to low iron levels). I have a 32-35 day cycle, menstruating about 5-7 days (the first and second days are always very heavy, changing ultra tampons approx. every 2 or 2-1/2 hours...
Avatar f tn Shortly after I stopped taking the Sertraline (in the middle of September 2019), I experienced fainting (while I was also on my period), but I experienced almost fainting the week after my period was gone, as well as the week after that. Those two occasions where I almost fainted were the only times I left the house and I felt faint only after ~30 mins of light walking. I stopped fainting/feeling faint after that.
Avatar f tn She is tired a lot and extremely pale all of the time which made me think of being anemic. Her doctor said all labs are within normal range. She is usually on her period during the times she has fainted. Can someone suggest a specialist to take her to because I still feel there is something wrong. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you.

917177 tn?1243354247 Is it normal for one to experience lightheadedness and fainting during menstruation? It's happened to me so many times before, typically as soon as my period/cramping starts I'll feel lightheaded, sweaty, and I'll fall to the floor and sit with my head on my knees. Occasionally this happens in the shower, or upon standing up if i wake up with my period, or even if it starts while I'm seated during a class.
Avatar f tn Hello! I have been experiencing some vaginal burning during my menstrual, but I am not sexually active! My menstrual doesn't smell bad, or have any real change in texture. I tend to get large clots and watery blood. Sometimes my vulva gets itchy, but I realized always pads were doing that to me! After I switched, no more itching. But my vagina has been burning and I think it's actually kinda dry despite having such a heavy flow! Any input would be appreciated!
Avatar n tn Menstrual cramps are normal to have and I get severe menstrual cramps on the first day of my period as well. Typically it is just from hormones that causes the cramping, as the surge will cause contractions, making her period painful. Prevention is much better than management for pain. Exercise and eating healthy can help prevent menstrual cramps to a certain point, but won't always get rid of them.

Avatar f tn I waited about 12 hours and after it got steadily worse I opted to go to a local urgent care center who did an initial exam, found no mass in my rectum area but suggested I follow up with my family physician for a colonoscopy. During this time I got my actual period - at which time any and all bleeding from my rectum has STOPPED.
Avatar f tn I did take an ept pregnancy test 2 days before my period date. It was negative. I also started my period. It is a little lighter but I read it could be because I've been stressing over the thought of being pregnant. There's no reason for me to take another test right?

Avatar f tn Hi there and welcome. First let me set up the disclaimer that this is an internet web site and no one here will have THE answer for you. Only a doctor can diagnose you. Hormones do affect us in many ways and headaches is a common issue. I myself get headaches related to my hormones. Usually worse right before or during my period. I'm prone to migraines so shifts in the hormonal balance affect me. You may have this same type of sensitivity. Dehydration can also cause headaches.
Avatar f tn One of those circumstances in the menstrual cycle with its ups and downs of estrogen. Certainly, just before the period and during it, many, if not most, women with MS state that their level of symptoms increases. This also includes wide swings in moods whcih can be seen both in MS of both sexes and in women with their cycles.
Avatar n tn i keep losing blood from my vagina very few day and keep fainting and collapsing whats wrong
Avatar m tn I'm in the same boat! But I was experiencing fainting so I went to the Dr. & they ordered blood work to test me got several things & I tested positive for pregnancy, but if I try a urine test it says negative. Being it's to early for the hormone to show up. I'd give it a few more days & try again! Also sometimes if you worry that can change your menstruation, so try to relax & good luck!

Then the night of march 27, i had a red light spotting (bright pink-brown) that lasted march 30.
