That can cause the heavy bleeding. For me it was postmenopausal bleeding due to hypothyroidism. I hope you get help soon.

Three days later she had to go to the ER for severe pain in her right hip - while at the ER she mentioned the vaginal bleeding to the nurse and attending physician - they examined her and told her that her uterus seemed rather thick (unfortunately, I wasn't with her, so I don't know "how" thick.) The physician made her an appointment with an OB/GYN three days from now. I am very, very worried, as everything I have looked up on the internet suggests a high probability of cancer.

I have been on the same pill for more than a year and never had a problem with it and my periods have been normal, but for the past 2 weeks i have been bleeding very very heavily with really painful cramp, i've been sick and generally just feeling run down and tired.

I have missed periods for 4 months and then had a heavy w/ clots, followed by a month with little flow. Then 4 months without. The Dr. said my uterine lining was thick. Didn't tell me how thick...I had an ultrasound which confirmed the thick lining but no fibroids. The dr. put me on progesterone to try to release the lining but nothing happened. He gave me an additional 7 day dose of progesterone and still nothing happened.

I started having pelvic pain 2 weeks ago with some back pain and over last few days pain was radiating down my leg. I was set to see my family doctor but then today I had some light vaginal bleeding. I was told by my doctor to go to the emergency dept. I had a pelvic exam, intravaginal and abdominal ultrasound and X-ray. They also wanted to do blood draws but couldn't because I was dehydrated.

I had my period December 13, then on December 28 I started light bleeding for 5 days then turned into full blown bleeding. I have been bleeding for 21 days. I had an ultrasound done and I am not pregnant and the ultrasound came back normal. Doc gave me provera to stop the bleeding but didn't work. I am almost 39 years old and have 3 children.

Last one was April or May 05. I was diagnosed a year ago with Polycystic ovaries and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Fast forward to about a couple of weeks ago. I ended up in the ER because of severe LLQ pain and nausea. Did a CT scan and said a cyst probably ruptured due to small amt free fluid in pelvis. Had a follow up U/S last week to check on the fluid and because I feel like I'm pregnant (which I'm not) and the pain in my abdomen has become a dull ache, although persistant.

Has anyone here had a Uterine/Endometrial biopsy done? I'm due to have one done and I'm quite frightened as some women say that it's "the worst pain in their lives" and give stories about passing out etc. from the pain....others say that it's a bit of a pinch, some cramping and it's done, others say that it's not much worse than a regular pap with a bit of cramping sensations.

Hi I had inter menstrual bleeding after 12 days of my last period and it lasted for 3 days. Initially the flow was heavy but gradually it slowed down.

Could you please let me know the possible reasons for this ?

Hello, I have been dianosed w/ dys uterine bleeding & I'm trying to resolve it by concentrating on what would be the cause instead of the symptom. I have been doing a lot of research, keeping track os things, & getting tests done.

Hello, If you are having a notable change in your menstrual cycle for more than three months you should present to your ob/gyn discuss this with them and they should then pursue a workup. Some reasons a woman's menses may increase in duration are uterine fibroids, thyroid hormone changes, or endometrial polyps. If you experience heavy bleeding (using a pad an hour for more than four hours) you should see a physician urgently.

Aside from menopause, other possible causes of abnormal vaginal bleeding are uterine fibroids or polyps, hormone problems. thyroid problems and other gynecological issues like malignancy. There is another forum here, Women's Health that may help. Pelvic exams, blood tests and other procedures can help your doctor determine the underlying cause. Take care and regards.

On day ( which I heard was when the embryo usually attaches to the uterine wall) I started very spotty bright bleeding with cramps. The next day I went to the doctor. He sent me to the hospital to have all types of testing: Thyroid, quantum HCG, Progesterone, and a few others. also he said the bleeding would probably continue. He gave me prenatal samples. it has been 4 days since the bright bleeding and heavy crammping began there was a little stringy dark stuff but very light blood.

Other causes of heavy bleeding which should be ruled out are fibroids, adenomyosis, endometriosis, uterine polyps, hormonal imbalance, thyroid problems and bleeding disorders. Do discuss this with your gynecologist and get yourself examined. Take care!

Hello, This bleeding can be due to intermenstrual bleeding. Main causes of spotting between periods could be due to pregnancy, birth control pills, infection in an area of the body related to menstruation (including the vagina, the cervix and even the bladder). Other causes could be polycystic ovarian syndrome, diseases of pituitary gland, hormonal imbalance of estrogen and progesterone and uterine abnormalities like fibroid and cervical dysplasia.

I think that it is possible for your thyroid to have thrown off your cycle. I would think that now that your thyroid is under control, it is possible for your period to start up again. Have you contacted your doctor? It is very possible that the belching is caused by GERD, but, if you are concerned that it is something more, then please see a GYN. Good luck to you!!!!

Thanks again for all of the kind thoughts. The gyno was a new dr. - the normal one I see was on vacation, so that added a bit of stress too. I had never met him before & when I got there he looked like a family friend of mine - that is a very uncomfortable situation to be in when you're lying in "that position" (LOL), but he did the pelvic exam/ovaries etc.

Polymenorrhea or bleeding from vagina more than once a month could be due to several causes such fibroids, adenomyosis, endometriosis, uterine polyps, hormonal imbalance, thyroid problems and bleeding disorders. Please ask your mother to take you to a gynecologist as this can only be managed after correct diagnosis is made. Meanwhile, since you have heavy flow, along with tampon wear pads as well. Take care!

You should consult your gynecologist to rule out fibroids, adenomyosis (thickening of uterine wall due to the tissue lining the uterine cavity moving into its muscular wall), endometriosis, uterine polyps, hormonal imbalance, thyroid problems and bleeding disorders as the cause of bleed. It could also be due to an IUD implant if you had one or due to oral contraceptive pills. It can also be a part of severe pelvic inflammatory disorder. STDs like Chlamydia and gonorrhea too can cause this.

Hi Carol, I've had a handful of patients in their 60s who had estrogen/progesterone levels change because of endocrine issues, high stress levels (caused high blood pressure) and medication changes (and one because she was having sex with her husband after he was putting his testosterone gel medication on his scrotum!) that caused post menopausal bleeding. One even had a uterine fibroid that would break a small blood vessel occasionally on her uterine wall when she had a bowel movement.

I never know when it will start; and it will appear to be done and then out of the blue i'll bleed through a tampon. I know this cannot be normal.

Hi! I have heavy bleeding during sex on ocassion. The sex is not "rough" nor is it near time for my period. Sometimes there is a sharp pain deep inside during sex. I also have lower abdominal pains and indigestion a lot lately. My family doc couldn't find anything wrong. Thyroid is fine. My gyno did pap (normal), uterine biopsy (normal) and put a chemical on my cervix which he said would stop the bleeding. I had a baby two years ago, this has been happening ever since.

Hello, This can be due to metromenorrhagia or dysfunction uterine bleeding and hormonal imbalance can be one of the causes of menorrhagia.

I have been bleeding menstrually for over three weeks. The blood has and still is bright red. The last two days I have experienced sharp painful cramping with passing large amounts of bright red clots. Is this a sign of a miscarriage, and if not, should I go to an ER?

I am 47 and very fit. I have been bleeding vaginally for months. I have always been regular and when my cycle comes, it's heavier like a real period, but the rest of the time, I have red blood coming out; albeit not a lot, but still it's irritating to say the least. I've been checked.....Doc says it's stress, but I'm not stressed. What else can be done???
