Avatar n tn I have abnormal vaginal bleeding on a daily basis. It is extremely heavy during a bowel movement and during sex. Why is this happening? My gynocologist did a pap smear and ultrasound, but cannot tell me why it is happening. She is suggesting a procedure that strips the lining of my uterus, but I would like to know if anyone knows why it is happening or if anyone has had this experience before?
Avatar f tn No, before I had to take iron for my heavy periods then I had a hysteroscopy and that worked amazing but now I'm bleeding clots too, and my periods are getting closer together.
Avatar f tn I got the depo shot back in January or February. Before that my hormones were all jacked up and my periods we heavy and lasted 4 months. I had enough and went in to get checked out. Of course there number one solution is to try birth control. The gyno told me depo should help my dysfunctional uterine bleeding... however it made matters worst and I bled for two months with abdominal pain and clots the size of golf balls, terrible mood swings and the like.
Avatar n tn I'm 47 and my period has always been pretty normal until I started having kids. They became heavier & a day or to longer. Now Sept had no period & Oct. November it has been heavy & two weeks long. For november it is going on day 15. No oder, discoloration & clots like in the past. No pain either.
Avatar f tn over the past 2 years I have gained 15 pounds despite increased exercise and have had flooding periods lasting 7 to 10 days with large clots the size of raw eggs; and for the past 3 cycles my periods are now coming 18 to 20 days apart with the worst cramping I have ever experienced but thankfully now only lasting 5 days. My emotions range from apathy to jittery anxiety, and I have had dizziness and actual vertigo intermittently for the past 3 months.
Avatar f tn I am 40 years old. Am I going through menopause? My periods aare all messed up. Some times I get them twice a month. Sometimes they only last a few days and are very light. Sometimes they are extremely heavy and painful, with HUGE clots. I've had ovarian cysts before. This has been going on for a few years. My doctor has recommended possibly cauterizing (sp ) my uterus to minimize the flow of blood. Has anyone had this done?
Avatar f tn s also quite popular to find fibroids and attribute any heavy bleeding to them. But heavy periods in perimenopause are not as nearly as attributable to fibroids as some sources indicate - at least 50% of women get fibroids after 30-ish - and most are actually asymptomatic- (only certain types of fibroids actually bleed) and begin to shrink as menopause gets nearer.
Avatar f tn s quite possible you are approaching menopause. My doctor who is a female physician told me to expect possible heavy periods sometimes and that the periods would vary sometimes being light, sometimes heavy. I not quite sure about your reference to the numbers say I'm postmenopause. Anyway, call your doctor. See what he says. It sounds to me like you're approaching menopause. What about your symptoms makes you think cancer?
Avatar f tn i was having sex started to bleed had alot of blood clots lost alot of blood all most passed out.
Avatar f tn Hello all, I'm so grateful to everyone who's written about their experiences with dermoids. I've been reading and rereading this forum for several months - it's one of the only things that gives me comfort. I wanted to ask for some advice. I'm in a tough place, caught between my terror of cancer and my terror of surgery, and I wanted to ask for some input from anyone who's been through this.
Avatar n tn I just turned 39 and my periods for the last year have been heavy and I've been having real dark and big blood clots, is this something to worry about? What should I do?
Avatar n tn Now, that I am in my fourties my start dates or more regular now, starting anywhere from day 21 to day 26. However, my periods usually last for 2 heavy days and almost done on day 3 or 4. My mom went into menopause when she was 42. Perimenopause can last for around 10 yrs. for some women and just a few for others. So who knows, I have no idea if that is what we are going through or not. : ( But it does stand to reason.
Avatar f tn hello doctor....i am 22 years old. i had my periods at the age of 11 and since den i had irregular menses and that too very painful. i took medicines for alomost 5 years but it was of no use as wen i had those pills for 21 days dan my periods would came on time but those were like fake periods as i had no sensation in my body and the moment i left those pills i had the same problem again. i had my ultrasounds 2-3 years back and had polycysts but i had no pain in my abdomen .
439168 tn?1307931740 Another explanation for unusually heavy periods or periods at odd times can be a uterine fibroid near the cervix. Your best bet is to get a beta hCG test at your ob/gyn's, and if it is negative, get to the ob and get an ultrasound. Sure, it could just be perimenopause, but that's a little early. ps -- heavy bleeding is not usually a pregnancy symptom. If the other symptoms prove to be pregnancy, just count the second period as the probable start point.
Avatar n tn s, I began having the heavy periods you describe. None of this was a sign of ovarian cancer. Menstruation is the function of the uterus. And, by the way, the cervix IS already a bump. An ob/gyn can answer all of your questions. Best of luck.
Avatar n tn I had very heavy periods, all the sudden they stopped to very light, I'm 47 should I be concerned
Avatar f tn I’m 46 years old and have had regular periods (like every 28-32 days) all my life. I am on day 92 (3 months) with no periods yet! As in my periods just stopped with no warnings! I Did not go through any other symptoms before with peri menopause except one month of hot flashes which I think was from drinking a bit too heavy as I was off due to ptsd. Had anyone went into menopause with having no irregularities and just stopped periods?
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 n tn Hello. I am a 23-year-old female, and I'm wondering if I'm completely too young for perimenopause! For the past several months, I've been having hot flashes and night sweats, my hair is getting frizzy and thin, my skin is getting dry, and my periods have become irregular, not to mention somewhat heavy and prolonged. I recently had some bloodwork, and I was told that some of my hormones were out of whack, but I was not told which ones. Could it really be perimenopause this early?
Avatar f tn I'm not concerned I'm pregnant I js couldn't find the right subject! My periods are ALWAYS the same I always bleed for around 4-5 days it starts heavy for one then goes light and I do get pains but only the first few days, and my blood is always a browny colour sum times read and I do get blood clots. This one has been very different I I have now Been on for 3 days it's still very heavy and it's bright red and I have really bad pains through the day is this a concern?
Avatar n tn Perimenopause. Your period might come and go irregularly for a while.
Avatar n tn The erratic nature of periods during perimenopause wouldn't concern me, but the heavy flow/clotting is not normal for me, so that would spur me to call my doctor. Did you check in with your doc?
Avatar f tn i waited another 28 days for next period and that to started late 5 days and it was medium flow for 1 1/2 days and spotting for 3 pink to brown no clots i normally last a full 7 days with 4-5 heavy with clots. and the first day of cycle my legs hurt from cramps but no clots. am i pregnant or is this something different. i thought i had a chemical pregnancy but not so sure now. i do feel a little thump in my tummy every now and then. head aches an want to vomit after i eat. and sleepy.
