Avatar n tn So these past few months my period has been very heavy with a lot of bleeding. I've been having to change tampons like every 2-4 hours, and that is using the super plus ones. Is there anything to do about it?
1416390 tn?1333901604 I had a c section 20 mos ago. since then my periods have been really heavy and there is always a day I seem to gush blood. Well- my period came a week early this month and last night I seemed to have passed a lot of blood- that seemed really red. Now that I am up it does not seem to be flowing so strong. I don't have any pain- slight cramping. I am not sure whether I should go to the ER or not- hate to go if it is just my period! Just seems odd there was so, so much.
Avatar m tn I was put on as a kid due to my heavy periods. Last year my doctor suggested I get off the pill and I did. I just got my first period last week and it was extremely heavy. Going through a super tampon every 20 mins to an hour and lasted for 7 days. Although I was hoping it was because it was the first one in quite some time. I woke this morning to a bloody mess and on the same track as last week. This is exactly how I remember my periods from years ago. Is this normal?

12205224 tn?1424027156 I am 53 years old. I have always had heavy periods, but lately my periods have lasted a long time, sometimes two weeks or more, and they become very heavy with lots of clotting. I have to wear two super plus tampons at a time and a pantiliner because they always leak. I hate it! What should I do? What can be done to make this more tolerable or stop altogether?
5633047 tn?1371909510 You may have some bleeding that resembles a period but it will not be an actual menses cycle because a period is the expulsion of the lining of the uterus. If you are having a "period" and see tissue coming out its not a good sign.
1615999 tn?1307461942 How heavy is too heavy when it comes to menstrual bleeding? My doctors always say if I saturate a pad in an hour then I should be seen right away. Well today I just about saturated one in about 2 hours and I don't know if that is an issue or not. I had an u/s a couple weeks ago because of heavy bleeding and they noticed that my uterine lining was thicker than it should be since I had just finished my period a couple days before.

I have had so many test done so i would think by now my dr would know if i had this or not. ?But, i have looked it up and it seems i have close to every thing to look out for with this. ..
Business woman1 heavy bleeding during my second day,and it is paining too much.
Avatar f tn Do you have painful periods as well or just heavy bleeding? Blood clots are usually normal but with heavy bleeding it could be something else.
Avatar f tn I also for almost 2 years now have had really weird menstrual periods( very very heavy one month and very little another month) most of the time they are heavy. also during this time i have been having back pain and abdominal pain. It comes and goes, sometimes with pain and sometimes without. For the past 2 days I have been haveing quite a lot red and brown blood when i wipe or just in my panties. Anyone has any clue?
Avatar f tn Okay well I had my period in January and skipped February and had bleeding like a period in March but not as heavy for 5 days. Has this happened to anyone and can I be further along then what I think? I'm thinking I could be almost ten weeks if I calculate from March but should I be calculating from January or February?
Avatar f tn You should change your profile, since it says your 21 and you say you're 18. But to your question, it depends on if it is your time of month. A bowel movement can help a mense get going, if you were just having old (brown) blood previous to this. I don't believe really, really heavy periods are normal when you are on birth control pills. A gyn should see you about this.
1194973 tn?1385503904 Before my children i had very heavy and painful periods. They were also 7-8 days in length. Then after my first my periods went down to 4-5 days and not so heavy. Also my cramps are very minimum, but when i get them boy do they hurt. So i would say it is normal to change that much.
Avatar f tn I would monitor your periods, it may not be anything, or it may be something to go speak to your doctor about. Stress also can play a huge role on periods and they can act weird in many ways. My girlfriend told me she had lost her job over 7 months ago & since then didn't have a period and wasn't pregnant, she started working 2 weeks ago & she now has it again. It was all stress related.
1837563 tn?1339903800 But now, my periods are 7 days long. The first 36-48 hours HEAVY BLEEDING! I saturate a pad every hour. Everytime I go to urine, blood gushes too, then I feel so lightheaded during these times. the rest of the days taper off. But on the 4th day, it gets heavy again for a few hours and then completely tapers off until day 7. Im anemic, dont know how low my actual iron count is. But I know I walk around feeling like im gonna damn near pass out sometimes.
Avatar f tn I got my tubes tied (burnt and a piece removed) in September 2015 I'm on my 4 maybe 5 period sense then. When I have been getting them they last about 2 weeks. They are heavy usually have to change my tampon every 3 hours with no leaking nothing with Lil clots. Some times the blood would be darker then usual. But the one I'm on now is very very heavy I'm bleeding through a tampon every hour hour and a half I have to wear a pad as well very bad cramps. Bright red.
Avatar f tn Up until 2016 my periods were on time and had regular bleeding. Is there any reason an abortion would have a permanent effect on my cycles?
Avatar f tn Hi, Me and my girlfriend had unprotected sex 3 days ago, and there wasn't much lubrication. Since then, she has suffered from increasingly heavy 'cut-like' bleeding and a bit of itchiness, with occasional pains. There are also tiny lumps in the blood. Please help!
Avatar f tn Hi, I suggest you go see your doctor as soon as possible. Heavy bleeding in between periods like this is not normal and is a sign something is wrong. I would call and get an appointment as soon as you can to find out what is going on. Have you ever had fibroids or ovarian cyst?
Avatar m tn I normally have not-super-heavy periods anyway, so this is only a little lighter than a period. I had super bad cramps for awhile today. I don't think this is implantation bleeding, because I've had that before, and this is definitely more blood. I just don't understand... Why would I be bleeding approx. 8DPO? Could I just have not ovulated and be having an anovulatory bleed? I was super dizzy the first half of today...
