General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

As a physician I would like to tell you that there are various reasons behind painful and heavy menstruation like Polyp, Endometriosis, Fibroids, and PCOD. So, I would recommend that you should visit a ob/gy doctor as all these conditions need to be evaluated and examined clinically by a MD Ob/gy doctor personally to establish a diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Abhijeet
