Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 could she be starting menopause? some women start this in there 30's and continue on for years. my mother had this problem and researched different herbs to help. the thing is all herb dont work the same on everyone and it is a trial and error type thing. see what doesnt work and try other things, then stick with the one that works. I am thinking red clover is what worked for my mom but cant be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Perimenopause can start as early as 20 yrs of age. And you're right, Lisa, herbs don't work the same way on everyone. Since I still haven't unearthed my books yet, I'll have to do a web search some time this week. Sorry but my work schedule is playing the dickens with things right now.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I forgot about the cervical cancer thing, good call. I had precancerous cell after the birth of my first child and bled for 13 weeks before finding out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 That sounds very serious - if it isn't a abnormal hormone problem, it could be a physical problem and you really should get your wife to a good GYN medical doctor to determine what is causing this constant bleeding. When I was younger, I had a similar problem, but not as severe. I got periods that lasted nearly 2 weeks, were very heavy and I would get another one less than two or three weeks later. Not a normal cycle at all. It was a hormone inbalance, so the cure to it was a low dosage birth control pill and I also had to step up my iron supplements - due to the excessive bleeding, I was borderline amnemic. I wouldn't wait for that problem to keep occuring. Go get some medical intervention ASAP, because if it's something other than hormones, the earlier you know about it, the better off a treatment or cure will be. Either way your wife can and should get relief from this because - if you think it's frustrating for you... imagine how she must feel. Better to know why it's happening and get a remedy, than waiting any longer.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 In addition to the possibility of this being " natural " it is far more likely to be caused by exposure Organophosphate or Organochlorine chemicals in her environment. These chemicals can bind to estrogen receptors in the body and cause all kinds of bizarre symptoms in women as well as men. This cycle could also have begun with her mother who may have been exposed to DDT (which would have been in common use during the time of her pregnancy) or may have even taken the drug DES. Either of these compounds were once very common and are known to produce these sorts of effects in the offspring as they approach their 30s. These so-called " Xeno Estrogens " are also considered to be a prime factor in the increased number of girls born with two uteri, testicular cancer in young boys and even the three legged frogs hopping around the swamps of Florida. I have found that Red Clover can provide short term relief from some of the secondary symptoms she may be experiencing and a couple of the GYN's I work with are now recommending high-quality Wild Yam (containing Dioscorea Opposita) supplements and high-quality glyconutrient supplements to their patients with similar issues. The results can take a while, but over time (months) we regularly see people move towards " normal. " The great thing is that these are non-toxic nutrients the body should be getting from diet anyway so the upside compared to toxic drugs and less-toxic (though effective) herbals is enormous. Note: Irregular bleeding is also a sign of cervical cancer so be sure to rule that out! -Dave _____ Dave Saunders, NC, DNEH Certified Nutritional Educator and Wellness Coach, ANA Member of the American International Association of Nutritional Education (AIANE) For nutrition and wellness info from a true educator, visit <http://www.glycowellness.com> www.glycowellness.com _____ On Behalf Of Syed Naqvi Monday, December 04, 2006 9:49 PM Irregular menstrual cycle and bleed for 4 weeks etc Hi, My wife has this problem of irregular menstrual cycle and whenever these start, bleeding does not stop for 30days.She feels weakness.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Karolina, I'm like you and was like that since I was 13...when I was 18 I got on birth control and thank God it straightened me out. I tried going off of it and whenever I tried I'd also have my period for 2 weeks straight...then not for 2 weeks..then start all over again. What a pain that was.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I am 31 and had the same or similar problems. It turned out that I had severe endometriosis that required surgery. I hope that this is not the case for your family member, but do not ignore the possibility. Pain with menstruation and sexual intercourse are additional symptoms. A pelvic ultrasound will show " adhesions " which could and may end up being endometriosis. Hope that this is not the case, but don't rule out the possibility. snaqvi <snaqvi wrote: She is 25.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Do you have access to acupuncture? I had severe premenopausal bleeding and acupuncture took care of it in 2 sessions. Also make sure she supplements with a good whole-food source of iron, like a concentrated green drink.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 " if it isn't a abnormal hormone problem, it could be a physical problem hormone inbalance, so the cure to it was a low dosage birth control pill " A few years ago I had similar problems begin. I'm 45. For the first time in my life I had to go home from work to shower and change clothes. I stood up and it felt like my entire uterus had dumped out of me. Even with being on " the pill " my cycle is unpredictible. It comes and goes on time, but it can be extremely heavy. I also have to wear panty liners for the first time in my life and it lasts 7-9 days. I also had horrible pimples that wouldn't pop they looked like boils and they would for a month or more. It took me two years to figure out what part of my problem was. 1. Planned Parenthood had switched my pill (several times) and gave me the wrong dosage. 2. I was pre-menopause! I tried to discuss the whole thing with PP at my annual, but all you get there is a NP not a DR. She told me she " thinks " I had (at the time) a bacteria and she tossed two bottles of antibiotics at me, one for me one for hubby. I refused them because she didn't know for sure and I hate taking any abx unless I absolutely have to. One of these days I am going to a " real " GYN to let them take a peek inside. I was told years ago that I have endometrosis (sp?). Both of my sisters have had it and both had their " parts " removed. I prefer to keep mine right where they are. " if you think it's frustrating for you... imagine how she must feel. " You got that right! It sucks. It always has. I wish I could trade places with my husband for just one month and let HIM be the female. I swear in our next incarnation I get to be the male and he can be the female!

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 I have this same problem, as near as I can tell. I went to six different doctors, it ended up being an estrogen/progestrone over load. I was put on Yasmin birth control pills which did help greatly. But my husband lost his job and we lost our insurance so the clinic I went to put my on other pills which raised my blood pressure to stroke level... needless to say, I quit them. I can't afford the Yasmin, which did not raise my blood pressure. I now take Dong Quai (Angelica sinensis) and Chaste Tree fruit (Vitex agnus castus) which helps somewhat. I get them at GNC and they are $15 and $10 a bottle for 100 capsules each bottle. They usually have a sale buy one get one half off. I take one of each in the morning and one of each at night. So far no side effects but it does take a few days to slow the flow down. They are not the best solution I'm sure and I'm still looking for a natural way to fully correct this problem. I am much older than your wife so I am thinking of a hysterectomy, but really do not want to go that route. (my mom had the same problem and had to go that way). This is not a good problem to have since it can raise the chances of cervical cancer. I hope the best for her and you and hope you find something that works for ya'all. take care kellie > Hi, > > My wife has this problem of irregular menstrual cycle and whenever these start, > bleeding does not stop for 30days.She feels weakness.
