Asthmatic, Allergic To Painkillers, Have Abnormal Menses With First Few Days Of Spotting, Cramping Followed By Heavy Bleeding. Remedy?

Hi. I am having alot of problems with my periods and unsure what to do. It has been like this for quiet sometime. They are regular .. Every 21 days but when i do get them, the first few days they are very light. I suffer leg and thigh pains and not to mention the stomach cramps . So the first four days i only see light red dots and am bloated. But the fifth day i get them heavy and last for 8 days. So i have them for about 12 - 13 days which i think is abnormal. I am also an asthmatic and am allergic to pain killers. Please advise. Many thanks in advanced.

Hello,
Your history is suggestive of an irregularity in hormonal balance. This is causing the abnormal menstrual flow, known as metropathic cycles. Your condition is very much treatable once you get a total evaluation done.Do not worry, your asthma is in no way a cause for this cycle disturbance. Visit a pulmonologist for advice. See a gynaecologist for a thorough hormonal assay.Do not forget to mention about your allergy to pain killers. Have a nice day.
