Brief Answer:
Yes, while on blood thinners the period can be heavy

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. All blood thinners can cause the menstrual period to flow heavily resulting in a heavy period. This is normal and expected whilst on blood thinners ma'am. If you have any issues with it, then you should speak to your prescribing doctor. Although I would just like to add that your haemoglobin levels may require monitoring as heavy bleeding during your period can result in anaemia.

I hope you find my response helpful. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.

Brief Answer:
My insight and awaiting a response for a few questions I have

Detailed Answer:
Hi ma'am.

The region in speaking (right hip bone and mid pelvic region) could have to do with either of the following structures:

+Intestine
+Reproductive system (uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries)
+Urinary bladder

But if you could palpate and find a sore or tender spot around your butt cheek region, this could in fact be your sciatica; as a tender spot cannot be found in case of abnormalities with your internal organs (i.e. intestine, urinary bladder, uterus, fallopian tubes, etc.) from the butt cheek region.

Gas at your age can also be related or associated with your menstrual cycle, but before assuming that we need to rule out any abnormalities of the intestine. For this I would recommend a colonoscopy to be conducted when there are positive symptoms present, not when you are asymptomatic.

What makes your entire query slightly puzzling is that the CT abdomen reported absolutely no abnormalities, which of course is a good thing but then it raises a lot of questions. If you do not mind me asking, do you have any stress or worries? Would you say you are depressed, unhappy or anxious at any time or most times?

The gall stones shouldn't be a cause for concern as long as they are small and your diet helps keep them that way.

I would also like to ask you to observe or think back and let me know if you have or had any of the following symptoms:

+Constipation or diarrhoea often (Especially after consuming trigger factors; will explain later)
+Mucus in stools
+Increased urge or urgency to pass your bowels (almost immediately) after consuming trigger factors
+Increased gas (you said is present)
+Abdominal bloating (especially after consuming trigger factors)
+When stool is passed it is small and like bits and pieces

Trigger factors are food or drink that cause aggravation of a few GIT (gastrointestinal tract) conditions, they can include:

+Popcorn
+Coffee
+Tea
+Carbonated drinks
+Spicy food
+Oily, fried or fatty food
+Milk or other dairy products
+Gluten containing products
+Chocolates
+Sugar or sweet products
and a few others.

I look forward to hearing from you in order to help you further.

Best wishes.
