Uterine fibroids, pain, heavy bleeding and irregular periods? |
I have multiple large and small fibroids, severe endometriosis, severe adhesions (they thought I'd had chemo). I used to have very regular periods but they are now irregular and heavy with a long pms time around when I expect a period. I was getting one heavy one about every other month having to change pads every 15 minutes for one day of it. And a lighter one in between with alot of spotting. But sometimes I can have pms symptoms like I'm starting and not start for a couple weeks. (They say it's inoperable.) Is this common? What should I be worried about? What can I do? I had this same problem in 2005, I experienced heavy bleeding and it continued for about a week, quit with just spotting and then back to bleeding again. This was so bad it put me in a very weak state and finally decided to visit obgyn and had blood test and ultra sound done. I was so low on blood that I had to have 4 pints replaced due to so much blood loss. The ultra sound showed a fibroid tumor. I had a total abdominal hysterectomy in September 2005 and the tumor removed. The fibroid tumor was causing the main problem for me, making my periods unbearable. Now I feel fine health wise, my blood count is back up, but of course I went straight to menopause, but I'm handling it the best I can. I wish you luck, have your blood checked for anemia and an ultra sound to see where and how large the fibroids are. I'd worry about becoming anemic if you're losing that much blood. Ask for a blood test to monitor this and take iron supplements. Have you considered bio-idential progesterone? http://www.womentowomen.com/ |
