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 n tn She also has past history endometriosis and has always had heavy periods and problems with her periods. She also has uterine fibroids that have been giving her problems, even more so since the warfarin. Between the uterine fibroids and the warfarin, her menses are extremely heavy. She is on iron because she tends to be anemic around her period. Her periods are so heavy that she can go through 4-6 large pads an hour, sometimes more.
Avatar n tn Is Uterine Hysterectomy the only solution to fibroids. Menstral period so heavy, has caused enemia. Ultra sound confirmed fibroids. The largest 3.5 cm. G.P. recomends hysterectomy. My age 46.
Avatar f tn Re-doing question -spelling in first one. Heavy(hemmoraging periods last one 42 days) Cannot do the traditional birth control route - severe reaction to first pill. 4 Fibroids in muscle? Enlarged uterus 12 weeks size. Waiting for MRI test in Feb. Told not a good candidate for ablasion. So... option is hysterctomy. Anemic cannot get iron up. Tests -biopsy, colonoscopy and Vag.Ultrasound. Blood work thyroid normal B12 high, below 5 ferritin, low hem 105. Taking 2 iron pills.
Avatar n tn I had a uterine ablation on 11/24 for heavy periods and mid month sporadic bleeding. Since then, I have had two menstrual periods, not super heavy but not light either. Also, I never used to have menstrual cramps and now the first two days, they are borderline unbearable. And, now I am really depressed because I started mid-month spotting again.
Avatar f tn I want to know if this is normal. The hysterectomy was done because i had fibroids and heavy periods.
Avatar f tn Has anyone had or heard of anyone that has had a partial hysterectomy (cervix, uterus and tubes removed-ovaries left) instead of a tubal? I have heard so many horror stories of heavy periods after a tubal, and mentioned that concern to my OB/GYN. I currently use the Nuvaring, but we are sure we are finished having kids, and I would like to get off hormones (I get the automatic 5lb weight gain). My OB/GYN recommended the partial hysterectomy.
Avatar f tn My periods are regular, but very heavy. Last period was different however, only two days long. Pain and cramps worsening, as well as radiating pain down left leg, that feels like leg is heating up from the inside. Transvaginal ultrasound showed a thick uterus during 3rd day of period and exam showed uterus has moved to left side of abdomen. I often suffer from low back pain and pressure in lower abdomen. I am forty years old, 5'5" weight is 245.
Avatar m tn I had a Myomectomy 3 years ago. Family history my Mom had a hysterectomy 51 many fibriods and heavy bleeding. Will I have to take hormones if I get a hysterectomy? Thank you for your quick comments!
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.
1043568 tn?1253450188 After I started taking Tamoxifen (age 52) my periods stopped for about 6 months and then started again about once every 3 or 4 months with the last one being quite heavy. I am 54 years old and I was still pretty regular before the Tamoxifen. My gynecologist is recommending that I get a radical (abdominal) hysterectomy since I am still having periods. I had a D&C last year and had a benign polyp removed. Just had a trans-vaginal ultrasound 2 weeks ago and everything was fine.
Avatar f tn I'm 27 and had a Mirena inserted over six months ago after very heavy periods lead to anemia and needing some blood transfusions. I had a lot of pain to begin with, couldn't walk without getting bad cramping and have had light bleeding almost continuously since having it inserted. My doctor keeps urging me to keep it in for a bit longer to see if it settles down, it seems like it's this or having a hysterectomy, which I'm not too keen on.
Avatar f tn I would certainly talk to your doctor about seeing if there is anything that can be done about the periods. My mom went through really heavy periods, had the uterus scraped. That didn't work so they did a hysterectomy. I would suggest talking to your doctor and seeing if any type of birth control could help lessen the periods. I know I'm young but I did get 3 periods a month and really really heavy ones for a few months until i finally got on a different birth control pill.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with PCOS a yr half ago. I'm positive my hormones are imbalanced, periods have always been irregular, heavy bleeding & clots. I've now been diagnosed with thick lining of my uterus, bleeding for over a month, almost 2, with light bleeding, not heavy, no clots. Bloated tummy, abdominal discomfort (not like heavy cramps). I am awaiting hear back on a referral to a Gynecologist, from what I was told by the referral coordinator could take 3-6 months to get into.
Avatar n tn Hi everyone. My history is: age 48, pre-menopausal, very heavy frequent periods and recently had an ovarian cyst that burst. CA-125 in 2008 was 22...this week it's 37. (lab said they only have part1 of the test back...is it a 2 part test?) U/s shows I have a complex 4mm x 4mm cyst on left ovary that grows and shrinks and I have always had something on the left side. Had a ueterine hysteroscopy and it showed negative for cancer, no fibroids but very thickened wall.
Avatar f tn You could also try a heating pad on your lower abdomen to see if it helps alleviate some of the pain, although when I had horribly painful and heavy periods (I had to have a hysterectomy in 1998 at age 35), I did find that even though the heating pad did help my pain a little bit, it did sometimes make my bleeding increase, so beware that that may happen. It may be something as simple as a hormonal imbalance, but it's definitely something to be looked into.
Avatar n tn I am 54. I have had 4 years of abnormal bleeding and my gyn refuses to discuss except to say that eventually my menopause will happen. I have very heavy bleeding, am now mildly anemic. I skip some months but when I do get my period, it's very heavy for many days. Have any other readers had this waiting game? I've known other women who have gotten hysterectomy due to this. He never mentions it. I had a D&C last year and after many days of heavy bleeding, my periods got better.
Avatar n tn He asked me to monitor the flow each day as am constantly bleeding.Some days light and some days heavy. It started off with a tiny bleeding that was dark in colour now its more new blood which is light or heavy.I have to wear sanitary towels everyday its getting me down as I dont know why this is happening.I am single thank goodness but I am afraid to getting involved due to this embarrassing problem. My GP thinks the menapause has something to do with it.
Avatar f tn I am 29yrs old i have been having sever abdominal pain only on my right side(ovariers), heavy bleeding and mth long periods. All this started after my tubual in january, what i want to knw if there are other options. I have heard some good stories and some bad.
Avatar f tn I bleed for sometimes months and most times my periods are heavy with huge blood clots. I recently seen a Dr. obviously concerned about this especially because my month long bleeding was draining me literally. I felt tired, sluggish and dizzy at times and I was noticing that I was becoming sick often, catching colds quite a bit. After seeing the Dr. she scraped my uterus and ran tests,I was given birth control to help regulate my periods and I was feeling very confident.
Avatar n tn I know a lot of women have 2 periods in one month, but most of the cases I've heard about have been instances where the periods are at least a week apart. I just had my regular period and it ended two days ago. Then suddenly, i started heavy bleeding again today. Could this mean that I'm pregnant?
Avatar f tn Hi. I am 42 years old and have suffered with heavy periods for the past 5-6 years. Although not everyday is a bad day, at least two or three days are unbearable. I have missed work, activities with friends and family and most time don't feel like leaving my house. Has anyone around my age had this surgery done? Has it helped? Do you recommend this being done? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
1022162 tn?1258069511 I have spoken with my doctor done some online research and now my problem is heavy heavy periods every 2 weeks. I am having a hysterectomy taking out my uterus and cervics and leaving my one ovary that I have. By leaving the one ovary I won't go through my change early and I won't need hormone replacement. One ovary will supply my body with 70% of what I need.
