Avatar f tn Every time i get my period i always have severe cramps up to two weeks before my period, and the cramps just lead to painful and very heavy, unbearable periods. Does this mean anything serious? What’s the cause of severe cramps and heavy periods?

Avatar f tn m thinking of changing doctors for more medical attention and also know what else to do. My husband has been very supportive but does not think a test is necessary, i'm hoping to convince him and I know after this time, he will be encouraged to go with me so we can both take tests together. Meanwhile if anyone has anything they think I should know or do, I am more than open to your words.
4977329 tn?1361831521 Painful periods, though very frustrating, do not necessarily mean you are infertile. I would ask your doctor to check you for endometriosis which can cause heavy and painful periods. That can be treated. See your doctor about your concerns so then can help you feel better.
Avatar n tn Like another comment said, birth control can help with long or heavy periods. It has been prescribed by many doctors for those specific reasons.
551683 tn?1220656108 I recently had a vaginal ultrasound because of heavy, irregular periods and pain during periods, in abdomen, in pelvis, and during intercourse. I blamed this pain on fibromyalgia (diagnosed 9 yrs ago). My test results showed 'samll uterine fibroid, some ovary cysts, and thickened endometrium. Gyn. gave me progesterone (sp?). She said this should help with periods.
Avatar f tn The results came back online but I won’t see my doctor to discuss in a few more days. It says “Heavy Growth normal uerogenital flora”. Does the heavy growth mean an imbalance or is this a totally normal culture?
Avatar f tn Usaully my periods last a week .. The last two month my periods has been lasting 2-3 days starting off heavy then getting lighter ... Could I be pregnant although my period is not late?
Avatar f tn bad cramps and headaches OK im 25 years old and i had an abortion in 2007 .

12205224 tn?1424027156 I am 53 years old. I have always had heavy periods, but lately my periods have lasted a long time, sometimes two weeks or more, and they become very heavy with lots of clotting. I have to wear two super plus tampons at a time and a pantiliner because they always leak. I hate it! What should I do? What can be done to make this more tolerable or stop altogether?
415867 tn?1323365503 s long) When I was 15 or 16 I was put on birth control ( I am now 23yo) due to my long, heavy periods...I would get my periods for 2 weeks at a time and they would be extremely heavy and very painful that at times I'd end up in the ER for pain medication and once they mentioned I might have had a cyst that pooped on my ovary. I got married in June of 2007 and went off birth control in october of 2007 and we started trying to conceive right then.
