What Causes Delayed Period Along With Fatigue And Dizziness?

My period was 5 Days late , and now that I have gotten it , I m always exhausted and weak.. Today , I was sitting on the couch and out of nowhere I got super lightheaded and dizzy. I went to the restroom and the toilet bowl was full of blood and blood clots. I ve had to change pads every two hours. What could it be ?

Hi,

If you are not likely pregnant because of the use of contraceptives or you are not sexually active then the abnormal bleeding may be due to:

(1) structural causes such as fibroids or endometriosis

(2) infection

(3) hormonal causes- abnormal levels of hormones can sometimes occur

(4) benign growths such as polyps in the uterus or cervix

If there is a chance of conception there is an unfortunate possibility of a miscarriage. It would be best, since you are feeling dizzy which may indicate excess blood loss, to see your doctor for an assessment.

I hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
