Problems With Periods....help Please!! Posted: 06-02-06 19:55pm
I am a 30 year old mother of 2. I never
had problems with my periods unil after I
had my kids. My periods are horrible.
They are very irregular...Are very long,
anywhere from 6-14 days. Cramps that are
so bed that I haveto make a trip to the er
to get some sort of relief for them. Due
to my period, I miss 1-2 days of work a
month due to the cramping that is so bad
that I could just kill myself to put me
out of my misery. I lay all balled up
and cry and cry for hours because I am in
so much pain. The bleeding is very
heavy. I go though 2 bags of pads a
month. There are always lots of
clots....( I dont mean to gross anyone
out.) I have tried birth control and all
kinds of medicine to help and nothing
does. When it is time for my period to
be over, it stops for a day or so, then I
have this spotting of clots for 2 or 3
days. Then once it is all over and done,
I have a couple of days where I have this
brown, mucusy discharge. Then I have
been cramping pretty bad after sex. I am
so tired all the time. I have no energy.
All I want to do is sleep. I got fixed
after my second child was born 7 years
ago. I get paps like I should. But
nothing ever shows. Could there be
something we are all missing???? Any
ideas from anyone??? I would really
appreciate any insite on this. Thanks

Yeah, it could be numerous things.
Endometriosis. Fibroids. Pcos.
Adenomyosis. Etc.
Pap smears only test for cervical
abnormalities that lead to cervical
cancer. They do not test for any of the
above. A lot of the conditions above are
diagnosed through surgery.
I think you should go see a gynecologist
and tell them what your symptoms are and
how long they have been lasting. You say
you've been to the .E.R for pain relief,
do you follow up with your regular
doctor?
Good luck.

I was recently diagnosed with
endomitriosis. Research and read about
the symptoms you are having and go see a
doctor with a list of questions and write
down a pain diary to take with you..
There is help out there find the right
doctor..... Good luck and don't give
until you have answers.... All of the
problems I have had started after my 3
kids and I am now 25.

I too was diagnosed in january with
endometriosis your periods sound very
similar to mine it took me months to find
a doctor who'd send me to a gyno but once
I saw him and explained everything I had
my surgery booked and pain medication in
the meantime, I really think you should
see a gyno, take care and keep us
informed.

Endo....surgery.... Still Bleeding??? Is Is Normal?? Help Posted: 06-15-06 14:46pm

hi, I also had the endo and also the
fibroids. I had just had surgery, I
guess they call it a d&c last tuesday
and for two days after I bled a bit and I
guess it should have stopped. But the
third day it appears that I was having a
regular period. Thinking that this will
finish, nooooooo, the next day I get
cramps and I feel like I am having another
period. The doctor also prescribed me
surgestone 25mg a day but it does not seem
to be helping.
Has anyone out there experiencing the same
?? Need any input as possible.
Lindee :(

If you are done having kids you should
have a hysterectomy. The symptoms you
discribe are the symptoms many women have
that undergo a hysterectomy.
