Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi! I am 49 years old and have had six children. I have been bleeding or have had discharge every day since the beginning of March. Just when I think it s getting better I start a heavy period. This is my third day with heavy bleeding again. I have fullness and bloating in my stomach and uncomfortableness but not necessarily pain. I had some loose stools today, as well. Sometimes the blood is black and full of clots other times it is red liquid ... like these past few days. I have not been to the OBGYN since my last child 11 years ago. I have hypothyroidism so I do go to a specialist for that. Is this normal for premenopause? My mother and one sister had hysterectomies in there thirties. My other sister was finished with her periods by the time she was 50. I am having dizzy spells and have bradycardia. Eating, I get full very fast and feel bloated. I feel very different this month.
Hello dear,welcome to Ask a doctor service. I reviewed your query and here is my advice. It looks like perimenopause. You can benefit from a hormone replacement therapy. You should balance your thyroid hormones as soon as possible. Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
