Hello Celine, Thank for posting your worry. It would have been more helpful if you stated when this heavy bleeding started, how many days you bleed, how many pads you change daily and also the number of children you have and age of last child. From your description the condition you presented is medically termed menorrhagia/hypermenorrhea which may be caused by one of the numerous diseases that affect the uterus. Normal menstrual flow is 25-80 ml per day or bleeding for more than 7 days. It is possible to estimate the amount of bleeding by the number of tampons or pads a woman uses during her period. As a guide a regular tampon fully soaked will hold about 5ml of blood. Most at times no causative agent can be identified and the treatment is directed towards symptomatic management. In your case considering the nature of your regular period and associated symptom we have as causes in order of decreasing probability: Painless - fibroids - Ovarian endocrine disorder (dysfunctional uterine bleeding or DUB)(the most common cause) - Coagulation defects (rare) - endometrial carcinoma - endometrial polyp Painful - Pelvic inflammatory disease - Endometriosis - adenomyosis You will need to visit a gynob to start ruling out one by one the different diagnosis. Drug of choice for DUB is progesterone which your doctor already placed you on. Symptomatic fibroids require treatment. After menopause fibroids shrink and it is unusual for fibroids to cause problems. Treatment choice will depend on severity of symptoms. Symptomatic uterine fibroids can be treated by: -medication to control symptoms -medication aimed at shrinking tumours -various surgically aided methods to reduce blood supply of fibroids -myomectomy -hysterectomy -treatment for infection and anemia There are many other treatment options for symptomatic fibroids and i only mentioned those that apply to our context. If you have no wish to have a child, i ll suggest that you opt for hysterectomy (removal of uterus by surgery) as it is a definite solution to the fibroid problem but still absence of uterus might lead to other problems which would be discussed by your gynob if you choose that option. The symptoms you present at the end are signs that your condition is getting worse and what ever the cause of the bleeding, you will require immediate medical attention. Hope you can visit your doctor right away
