Common Questions and Answers about Menopause periods more frequent

period

Avatar n tn I would like to know if it is possible that fibroids can cause this discharge? Are the frequent periods possibly due to the onset of menopause? I do not always have periods this close together, just occasionally. I have an ultrasound and gyn appointment, but it isn't until May 1 and I am worried. Thank you for any help you can offer.
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 Some women even get close to the 1 year mark of no periods only to have them start up again. And some have more frequent bleeding than normal. The bleeding may be heavier or lighter. So anything goes.
577395 tn?1277401364 Not unusual for your age. Cycles and periods scan run the gamut during perimenopause with bleeding being more frequent than not in some women. Lab work is not helpful since levels can swing from menopause to reproductive during this transition which can last years. Unfortunately, many women are lured into having a hysterectomy or endometrial ablation that causes many more problems than these procedures solve.
180255 tn?1371410663 If you are experiencing neck pain, visual disturbances, loss of hair from eyebrows or eyelashes, extreme weight fluctuation, swelling of arms/legs - these symptoms would not relate to menopause but are more likely to be related to a thyroid disorder. If you are experiencing hot flushes/night sweats or vaginal dryness - these are symptoms unrelated to thyroid disorders but are related to menopause. Further similarities lie between hypothyroidism and depression.
Avatar m tn Symptoms of premenopause are irritability and mood swings,hot flashes,night sweating,irregular periods,decreased blood loss during periods,dry vagina,breast heaviness and tenderness and joint and muscle pain. 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. I sincerely hope that helps.
Avatar f tn d ask about menopause and make sure everything is ok. Usually it tapers off when menopause hits, instead of just ceasing to exist. Have fun with the next coming years.
Avatar f tn Oh, and if possible you may want to start reading it before your follow up visit to your doctor so you will be more informed about menopause.
Avatar n tn I am 48 y.o. I have never been exactly regular with my periods, however, have not had any difficulty having children. I would go sometimes 65 days without menustrating. If 66 days had passed, I figured I was pregnant, and was usually right. I had 4 healthy pregnancies. However, this is not my problem. Now, at my age, I am constantly getting my period. I have never felt worse during them. I usually do not make it passed 2 weeks before I start again.
Avatar f tn if your periods are less frequent then it may be a sign you are on the way to the menopause, women tend to want sex more often when we are due on too, do a blood test with the doctor you could be borderline
Avatar f tn I'm a healthy 45 year old with 2 grown children. My periods have been like clockwork all my life. I've had frequent, unprotected sex. My period has suddenly stopped about 12 weeks ago. I have no symptoms other than I felt my left ovary "twisting" for a couple of days(don't know how else to word it). I have not taken a test as I don't see how it could be possible at my age to be pregnant. Thoughts anyone?
Avatar f tn The menstrual cycle and periods can go haywire during the years leading up to menopause. Heavier and prolonged periods or more frequent periods seem to be pretty common. But lighter periods and missed periods can also happen. So basically, anything goes! How's that for expectations?! Midsection weight gain also tends to happen during perimenopause. And some women show symptoms of a sluggish thyroid.
53833 tn?1234996629 I also went through the same thing. My periods became less frequent and much more lighter and shorter, then I would skip a month or so, and then another period would start. As soon as it was over I'd have another one if 2 weeks or so, then go 3 months without one and then have 2 in the same month - some just spotty others light for 2-3 days and that's it. ( I used to bleed heavy for a full 7 days!
Avatar f tn I am 42, and for the last 3-4 months my periods have been frequent (15-19 days apart) heavy (a tampon every hour, clotty, crampy, and very painful. I have also had a frequent sharp pain between my right ovary and my hip. My ultrasound showed a "small hypoechoic fibroid along the anterior fundal/body junction, abutting the endometrial stripe, consistant with a submucosal lesion." I don't know what that means, so I don't know if it explains the sharp pain or not?
Avatar f tn m 45 years old and have had healthy menstrual cycles like clockwork all my life. Suddenly it stopped 12 or so weeks ago. I have had frequent unprotected sex. I have no symptoms. Menoupause or pregnancy?
Avatar f tn I have good volume of hair and have a normal hair fall when i wash, not more. But i have been facing irregular periods since a year.. i get my periods after 4 months.. so do u still feel it may be pre-menopause?? I have heard that menopause starts between 45-50 yrs of age. I am only 38.. so is it possible that i may be having early menopause?? does that mean that even if i get married now i may have probs in bearing children?? I am really worried. plz assist.
Avatar f tn I did have irregular periods due to a higher than average level of estrogen. I'm sure they did blood work that showed that? If not, that's easy to do. I also had thyroid issues and combined, those two factors made me have periods every 3 to 4 months! Such a pain that was! I was in my 20's though so wasn't worried about menopause like I would be now. For whatever reason, women with high levels of estrogen are MORE likely to have candida or yeast overgrowth.
973741 tn?1342342773 Some women have more frequent periods / shorter cycles while others have longer cycles. And some experience a combination during the perimenopausal years. Bleeding patterns run the gamut too. Periods can be heavier or lighter and basically unpredictable. How's that for knowing what to expect?! Birth control can make things much more manageable during this time. Non-hormonal Rx tranexamic acid is another option for heavy bleeding although won't normalize your cycle.
Avatar f tn The past 5 months, nothing, no psm at all but still getting regular periods. Could it be menopause or perrimenopause setting in. 47 yrs old. Good health.
Avatar n tn The reason the doctor says he wants to run frequent blood tests is because I have high cholesterol (400+). He is much more concerned about this than my menopause issues. I went to a different doctor and he wanted to run blood tests, too. So, I have given up on seeking professional advice. Thanks for offering yours!
Avatar n tn For many, this cessation of menstrual periods will represent permanent menopause but a minority will have return of menstruation either regular or irregular in the future.I have read that some women restarted menstruation 2 years or more after completing Chemotherapy. I am also glad to know that you finished all your treatments and I wish you continued good health! :) Take care...
667937 tn?1227758698 I did have very irregular periods when I had a uterus. I would get 2 sometimes more periods a month. And then there were the periods that lasted 3 months straight with spotting in between weeks. I know a woman is born with as many ova as she will ever have. Could I have ovulated so many over the years that here now at 36 I am going through the change? Or is it normal for a 36 year old to go through the change. I also am having reflux like you wouldn't believe and my tummy is rollin!
