I've suffered with an abnormal period since I started at age 9. About 5 years or so ago, I was so heavily bleeding that I needed bed rest at times. This went on for about a couple of years where I would be bleeding weeks on end. Eventually this resulted in me being extremely anemic.
About a year or so ago, I went to a gynecologist who diagnosed me with menometrohaggia (forgive my spelling if this is wrong). I was also very overweight at the time and they thought it was a contributing factor. Needless to say I've lost almost 100lbs and I'm not dealing with the excessive bleeding. Now it's something even more different & was wondering if anyone has experienced this? When my period arrives, I seem to get extremely heavy cramping for the first week or so, so bad that I'm doubled over sometimes. My stomach also feels like there's a block of ice resting on it. When I actually do begin to bleed, it tends to normalize. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Any suggestions would be great, thanks! |

issyme, so sorry to hear what you are suffering with this.
are you still under the care of a gynie or someone who can help in terms of the health effects of all this blood loss? I would think that is really important. I believe there are also natural ways to treat this condition so if you find you arent getting sufficient help from your regular doc, you may want to consider an Integrative Doctor or a naturopath
