What Causes Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding And Weight Gain While Having A Bicornuate Uterus?

I am a 50 year old white female and have a bicornuate uterus. I have been bleeding continuously for over a year now with small week breaks every 3 months or so. I have gained about 40 pounds in the last year and my joints and bones are really weak. When I knock any part of my body it is extremely painful like my bones are really sensitive. I thought it was just menopause but now I am starting to wonder.

Hi,

Thanks for your question. I do understand your pain and discomfort. As per your history is concerned please follow my advise below to know the causes of AUB and weight gain:

1) Do a pelvic ultrasound scan
2) Do FBS, TSH, CBC3) Add [ 3a-CEO capsules]once a day

Do check following physical signs:

a) Obesity
b) Androgen excess (body hair, acne)
c) Thyroid enlargement or manifestations of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism
d) Galactorrhea (may suggest hyperprolactinemia)
e) Visual field deficits (raise suspicion of intracranial/pituitary lesion)
f) Ecchymosis, purpura (signs of bleeding disorder)
g) Signs of anemia or chronic blood loss (if found correct it)
h) A careful gynecologic examination, including Pap smear and sexually transmitted disease (STD) screening.

I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me. Wishing you all the best.

Thanks,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
