Period question

September 12, 2005

OK, I gave the warning, so if chatting about a woman having period

problems makes you queasy, best pass on this one This is from a

friend of mine, just not sure what to tell her to help her

out.....I'm not sure the *jolt* of hormones was the best way to go???

>>>>well I dont know lol I couldnt stop bleeding and there was heavy

clotting and this has been going on for way too long . So I beat my

head against the wall because I have no insurance but I was really

feeling like crap and getting very run down and I found a Dr. that

would work payments . He did a pelvic and said he felt my body just

needed a good jolt . So he put me on massive doses of bc - I take 3

pills a day for 7 days and then 2 a day for 7 days and then 1 a day

for seven days and then he said I would have a very wicked period .

LIKE IT COULD GET ANY WORSE THEN IT HAS BEEN .....he said the

clotting is just age .... it happens to alot of women as they get

older . That wicked period should come just in time for my b day lol>>>

I'm sure her iron is very low, any other ideas?

Sounds like she needs an ultra sound and a D & C? How old is she? Is she in

menopause? Could she be pregnant? Any STD's?

Oh one more thing Chris,

She should find another doctor. I hate the 'Take one of these Valium three

times a day and call me in a week doc.'

The dr. didn't find fibroids or anything like that? I think she should

get a second opinion and a better exam, at the very least!

Dear Chris,

I agree with Karen. To say the least, your friend needs to have a CA-125 blood

test. Although it may present a false positive, if it does, then further types

of testing, such as in office endometrial biopsies, etc. can be done to further

rule out any cancer. As a 2 time cancer survivor (ovarian and 8 years later

cervical) I HIGHLY recommend this test to ALL women. It's not that expensive -

I think about $45 - $55 and detects Cancer cells that may be carcinoma or other

forms of female abdominal cancers. It's worth the money. Had the Army invested

in giving me this test when I first reported, over multiple office visits and

nearly 1 year, that I was having clotting, intermittent bleeding, cramps, etc.,

then perhaps I wouldn't have had to endure chemotherapy and eventually a full

hysterectomy. Without further investigation and definite diagnosis (tell her to

get an ICD-9 Code of her diagnosis and then research it), prescribing a boat

load of hormones is not the treatment I would accept. Remind your friend that

SHE is in charge of her medical care. Also, I would recommend use of a PMS

blend of essential oils rubbed on the abdomen 2-3 times per day and an Irritable

Bowel Syndrome Herbal Tea 4 cups a day.

I hope your friend is going to be okay.

Best Wishes,

Katherine

The biggest problem is that doctors do not know what causes this, 99.999% of

the time. I was told the clots were from blood flowing so fast that it could

not get out of the cervis fast enough, so it clotted. I asked how do the

clots get out? No answer. Reducing my intake of red meat slowed them down to

a reasonable flow.

Ok....FOREWARNING!!! The answers given herein are kinda graphic, and not

for the faint.....SOOO, if you get quesy just thinking about blood, please

delete this post!!!

I too, had a similar problem. Mine started from a miscarriage, and went on

from there. I was given a D & C as I was passing lots of blood and some

really large, strange looking clots. After the D & C, I was told they found

remnants of a pregnancy that dated approximately 3 months.

Anyway, after this, my next period was unusually heavy, and they gradually

got worse. They tried BC pills, Depo-provera shots, everything. Seriously.

I used EVERY form of hormones that were on the market at the time.

I went through many treatments over the following two years, to no avail. I

was bleeding 60 to 90 days at a time, and was having to take iron pills, to

keep me from being anemic.

I cannot remember the name of it...but the doctor told me he thought I had

something similar to endometriosis, only, instead of the endometrium growing

outside of the uterus, it will mesh itself back through the uterine wall.

I ended up having an emergency hysterectomy, as I was literally bleeding to

death. After all was said and done, they sent the uterus to pathology, and

it came back as a perfectly normal uterus. <UGH!> My doctor told me that

obviously, my hormones had just been so out of whack, that he was unable to

even them out to normal, to stop the bleeding.

Long story short.... She really needs a second opinion, or maybe a third.

Would I have the hysterectomy done again, knowing then what I know

now....I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Living that way for two years was

miserable. I had no quality of life. At least I didn't have any type of

cancer or anything, but it was something I was concerned about at the time,

as this type of cancer runs in my family.

It could be something as simple as her hormones being out of kilter.....and

the BC pills will help. If they don't, I'd be looking for more answers. I

wish I knew of something herbal that would help. Other than sniffing some

Vitex, I don't have a clue.

Just my story....and I hope her situation works out, easily.

Chris,

My daughter had that very same problem. She would go for up to 14 days and

then start all over again in another 14 days. I took her to the doctor and he

did the exact same thing for her. It worked until after she had her second baby.

She had very normal periods . Now she will have to do it again when she gets

over this last drama from having her last baby 4 weeks ago.
