What Do Heavy Bleeding And Nausea Indicate?
Brief Answer:
Mild hormonal imbalance.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
See, once in a while, this could be because of mild hormonal disturbances.
Conditions such as stress, anxiety, change of place or work, fluctuations in your weight, unaccustomed exercise, dieting, lack of sleep, hormonal medications, smoking, drinking, travelling - all this can change your menstrual pattern.
And when a period is late, it is generally heavy, because the lining of the uterus has built up over time.
Nausea is common during periods.
The pregnancy test is negative, so you dont need to worry about that aspect.
However, one more thing - if this pattern recurs next month, you should have a gynecological evaluation.
A uterine fibroid, ovarian cyst, endometrial hyperplasia - all these need to be ruled out.
You would need an internal exam, a Pap smear, a pelvic ultrasound scan and hormonal tests.
Right now, you can ignore it as an occasional hormonal imbalance, that frequently happens.
All the best
please feel free to discuss further.
