let me tell you what happened to me.
last year i started bleeding for a month.
i seen my doctor and found out i have a cyst on my ovary.
so they wanted me to see the doctor every month to see if it will go away or get bigger so they can preform surgery.
it's been a year later and i had a surgery called
hysteroscopy (camera in vagina) and D&C (scrap the lining on my uterus) this is what was making me bleed so much.
i was put on depo, but i started bleeding for 1 1/2 months and had side effects, so im on birth control now and doing fine.
the doctors scared me with the "think about a hysterectomy" when i am only 32 with 1 child.
it took them a year to figure out what's wrong with me, and two different special ob/gyn doctors.
they have to rule out cancer, tumors, fibroids, blood clotting, and imbalance hormones.
so you have to go to the emergency room, they will tell you to see your doctor for follow up.
you have to try to find a family planning clinic that will go by your income. this problem is serious.
take iron pills, so you wont become anemic from loosing so much blood. note that some iron pills constipate you.
