Avatar n tn Hi there, Depo vera may disrupt the menstrual cycle. It can cause irregular bleeding or spotting, heavy or prolonged bleeding, or your menstrual bleeds to stop altogether. After stopping depo it may take some time for your hormones to normalize. Upper stomach pain and cramp can be due to many causes like gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease; peptic ulcer etc.Other causes of delayed periods like pregnancy, hormonal imbalances, ovulation disorders and thyroid disorders should be ruled out.
Avatar f tn t function. My doctor says my irregular periods are normal because I am overweight. But my periods only seem to get exhausting when I'm losing weight. Any other time I am completely fine. My period last from two weeks to over a whole month. Has anyone else has symptoms? Could this be anything serious?

If there is heavy bleeding then you can get tranexemic acid and ethamsylate prescribed. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.
Avatar f tn Hello, It can be due to menometrorrhagia. Prolonged and abnormally heavy menstrual bleeding is called menorrhagia. 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.
Avatar f tn I have not lost any weight at all and have always had irregular periods. I havent had a period for around 6months and now i have one out of the blue it is so heavy, thats not normal isit?
Avatar f tn There are really not many options available if you do not see a doctor, as your heavy, prolonged menstrual flows and irregular periods could be balanced by oral contraceptive pills, which are commonly prescribed for severe dysmenorrhea such as in your case. It will help to regulate your periods (monthly) and reduce the PMS effects you are experiencing. These can only be prescribed by a doctor, though.

Avatar n tn My wife has been experiencing irregular menstrual cycle for the last 06 months. She is 34 year old. After having checked with doctor and subsequent test, she found thyroid problem. She started taking medicines as per dr prescription for the last 5 days. She was expecting her periods on Dec 20 this time but she started light spoting from Jan 03. After 03 - 04 days she started heavy bleeding with medium size blood clots. I am worried and seek advise. Thanks & Regards.
Avatar n tn In fibroids a woman will have backache, frequent urination, pain in legs, painful sex, heavy painful periods etc.Ovarian cysts can cause irregular menstrual bleeding, lower abdominal pain, pain on urination and pelvic pain after sex.It is essential to rule out the above mentioned causes. Seek the opinion of a gynecologist. A complete examination and work up is important. Hope it helps. Best luck and regards!
Avatar f tn I'm 52 and thought I might be entering the stages of menopause when I recently begin to experience extremely heavy periods although I haven't started having the ususal symptons, hot flashes, night sweats, etc. I went to my Dr. who tested my hormone levels which were all normal. That was two months ago and I'm still having very heavy periods for weeks at the time that will stop for maybe a week or so and then begin again. Any thoughts?
Avatar f tn it can only be diagnosed for certain through laposcopic surgery. Good news: surgery can VASTLY improve your life (especially if you've had symptoms for a long time) Bad news: even if you have a pretty good surgeon, it will likely come back. More than most surgeries, it is very important to seek out a specialist in endometriosis, because even a tiny bit of tissue which is not removed will re-grow rapidly in the abdominal cavity.
Avatar m tn you may be anaemic. With anaemia, that too can make the menstrual cycles to become irregular, either too heavy or scant or complete loss of periods. If you have been feeling very tired, then it is highly likely that you have anaemia, and in this case you should make an appointment to see your doctor soon and not wait 2-3 months (see my message below with regard to your periods). Any changes to the menstrual cycle that are not related to pregnancy are not normal.
Avatar f tn Any of the above symptoms and signs may be absent in PCOS, with the exception of irregular or no menstrual periods. All women with PCOS will have irregular or no menstrual periods. Women who have PCOS do not regularly ovulate; that is, they do not release an egg every month. This is why they do not have regular periods. Hope this helps but I would get checked since if you have it you have higher risks for certain things. You can also google it for more information on it.
Avatar n tn First day weak second and third day strong and then it fizzles out. The last 2 periods were 10 and 9 days late. Heavy the first day but still gone in around 5 days. This time around it was 9 days late again and it started slow but today is day 13 of bleeding and it does not look like it's going to be the end soon. For the last 4 days it's gotten heavier.
Avatar f tn I have a list of symptoms such as heavy prolonged periods with discharge back pain and even irregular heartbeat. Asthma like symtpoms. And what is your advice on a total hysterectomy - I've had kids and under age of 40.
Avatar n tn I just wanted to share what happened with me since you mentioned irregular menstrual symptoms that might be related to hypothyroidism. I had very heavy, and prolonged periods (lasting 18-20 days, they were only very heavy for a small portion of that time), which got much, much worse after my thyroid was removed in 2018. It took about 6 months for me to get back up to a "normal" thyroid hormone level after my thyroidectomy completion surgery.

Avatar f tn I started Diane 35 this month, starting on the first day of my period for my irregular periods. My period this month started out normal then heavy with slight cramping, then moved to heavy spotting and today, its light spotting but with slight cramps, its been 12 days since the first day of my period. Is this normal?
Avatar n tn I also have irregular periods and heavy bleeding. what kind of test were done to find out that you had PCOS.? 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. ..
Avatar m tn So, if you have any kind of eating disorder, you can certainly experience irregular periods. Excessive exercising or straining your body also leads to irregular menstrual cycle. This is the reason why most of athletes encounter missed periods. Many new mothers do not resume their regular periods until they have completed their breast feeding. So, they can possibly have irregular menstrual cycle. Consuming excessive alcohol can also disturb your hormonal metabolism.
Avatar f tn im 23 almost 24 and my periods are very irregular. all up since my first period (at age 15) i have had about 25 periods (at the most) and at least 6 of them were by being on the pill to have regular periods. Everytime i go to my doctor he says it is normal. I dont think it is normal. I REALLY want to be able to have kids but i am worried i will not be able to.
Avatar m tn I do not have any suggestions as to why your periods are so heavy. However, you can ask the doc to put you on 'the pill'. It has been known to reduce heavy periods and help with the pain.

Avatar n tn I have been having irregular non-stop menstrual cycles wait clots that can last 3 months at a time with maybe a couple days to months in between without having one. I got on birth control when I was thirteen, now 18, because of irregular periods. I got off 2 years ago exactly and wasn't having any problems till about December 2013 when I suddenly stopped having one for 6 months and now since then I been having them really badly.
