Avatar f tn There are a number of different conditions that might cause a woman to experience menorrhagia. For example, prolonged and heavy bleeding may be a symptom of abnormal blood clotting. It might also signify fibroids or cancer of the uterine lining. In some cases, menorrhagia may be caused by certain birth control methods, such as intrauterine devices (IUD). Untreated, menorrhagia may lead to a number of other health problems.
Avatar f tn This condition is called menorrhagia. Normally the period stays for 3-7 days and comes in 21 to 35 days. However sometimes normal periods can be irregular. The causes of menorrhagia could be due to bleeding disorders, vitamin K deficiency, excess usage of aspirin, hormonal imbalance, stress, fibroids, recent intra uterine devices (like copper-T)etc. So I will like to advi9se for internal examination with gynecologist and take opinion. I hope it helps.
Avatar f tn I had a non stop period for a month. I went to my gynecologist who prescribed progesterone 5mg orally. I took it on the 12th day of my cycle and the bleeding stopped. Then I stopped taking it on the 25th day of my cycle and my period came. Then it wouldn't stop again. I started again to take the progesterone on the 12th day but this time I am still getting spotting and now I'm on the 18th day of my cycle. Can you help?

Avatar n tn Hello, Such continuous spotting/ bleeding can be due to menorrhagia. Causes of menorrhagia are Hypothyroidism, Endometrial proliferation or hyperplasia like ovarian tumor and polycystic ovarian disease,endometrial polyps and neoplasia,endometriosis,fibroids and uterine sarcomas. In my opinion you need to get your pelvic examination done from your gynecologist along with investigations like complete blood count,thyroid function tests,PAP smear and ultrasound uterus.
5675963 tn?1372171187 I think you should get a second opinion from a new doctor. Bleeding for 7 months is unusual. Menorrhagia is the term used to describe menstrual bleeding characterized by heavy flow and/or prolonged duration. Heavy flow lasting more than seven days but occurring with regular monthly periods may be normal for some women. However, menorrhagia is a symptom, which is usually the result of an underlying condition.

Avatar n tn I have been on my period for 11 days now. I took Medroxyp Ac 10mg. I was prescribed 5 pills to take 5 days in a row. I took 2 of them 2 days in a row skipped a day and took 2 of them 2 days in a row and didn't take the 5th pill. Would this have something to do with why I am going on 12 days tomorrow being on my period?! I took the pills the prior months correctly like directed and my periods were normal (5-7days).

Avatar f tn So I have had a super heavy period for 2 months straight and it is still going! I started having my periods last year in September. I am not having any cramps whatsoever. I feel fine, but it is really troubling me. Last year I was in a ton of sports and I had my period in December and it didn't return until June/July this year. It has always lasted long but not this long. My periods are so heavy I have to change my super tampon every hour if not sooner.
