constant vaginal bleeding now for 6 months

Guest · Guest

Haven't any of you ladies had an ultrasound to check for polyps? I had very heavy periods and the doctor found a small polyp that he removed. Mine was very small...larger ones would certainly make you bleed continually!

Wow this sounds very familiar I have always had my period irregular just like you. I 'm 29 years of age though and I however though started my period in the beggining of April and I'm still bleeding. I did go to the doctor back in the the begining of June. They told me I was pregnant. I had a misscarage and I they really didn't do much for me but do some tests take some blood. They say that I ofcourse need to do a follow up but haven't got an appointment. To sum it up they don't know what's wrong, or what I can do. So I have to say, that it's kind of releaving to here of someone that's going through something like this, as scary as it is. But I do think you need to see a doctor. Good Luck!!!

That saddest thing about most of these postings is that so many of us cannot seek proper examination or treatment because of insurance costs!!! It furstrates me so much that we live in a country that makes it so difficult for us to get access to proper health care at reasonable costs. Have any of you watched SICKO?

I too have had constant bleeding for 8 months now! I'm 26 years old, I haven't been sexually active for about a year, I have never been on birth control (except once during my sophmore year of college but never tried it again because I disliked the side affects), I'm not overweith, I run 3-4 miles 4-5 times a week, I don't feel fatigue, I've been tested for STD's and everything was negative. I won't have health insurance for another month and will visit a doctor as soon as I do and make sure to post any results. From the various postings here I only found one or two suggesting a natural remedy. Has anyone else natural remedies that have regulated bleeding?

Here goes my rant story...

I think I've had mine for longer than all you girls. yeah yeah, i know i should of checked it and so forth.. but the girl above me is right, it is also due to affordability to go check in with the doc. I've checked it out once.. when i was 18, now i'm 22. I did a pap smear and it came back negative.

My bleeding constantly started when I was about 14 or 15, very shortly after my dad passed away. I've also did research that diet is a problem, too much excercise, and also stress. But I've tried not to have stress in my life, so far I don't think I get stressed at all.

Now I've read in here that some of you are overweight, but I think I'm slightly underweight. I'm 5'4'' and my weight is always never consistent. I have very high metabolism and I hate it. I'm Asian. I wish most of these girls would of posted these kind of info, so I could at least get some statistics and kinda see where i'm at. No racial issues. Although I don't really think that this bleeding thing discriminates.

Once, my mom and my aunt did find some of these Asian herbal that I took and supposedly was an expensive type of herbal medicine (dunno what its called). It made my bleeding stop and i felt normal for the longest time in my life which only kept me not bleeding for about a month and a half... and damn it felt long.. it felt good to not use a darn pad.

SO, as soon as I save up I'm going to go in for an ultrasound or whatever, but thats what I've been saying for the past years. Doctors never seem to have a big concern about it.. I think this trend is more familiar to them than we all know. IF I ever do go in and get results back, I will definitely come back to update all you... later! and God bless...

i too have been bleeding non-stop for the longest. i can say for about 8 months now. i dont even cramp anymore. as a matter of fact i even have been passing soft ball size blood clots. i just went to the er room and they said that my blood level was a 7 when its supposed to be a 12 or 14 to be normal. they wanted to admit me and give me a transfusion but i wont take the blood. i rather build it back up with the iron pills. the er doctor wanted to see me back in 2 days and that morning was a disaster, i woke up in a pool of blood i messed up my matteress and i messed up my carpet and clothes, etc. by the time i got to the hospital i was pale. they took me right in. the gyno there said that he was gonna try a dnc first to see if that would work. this was a week ago. im now cramping and i am still bleeding. i have an appointment with the same gyno doctor on the 4th of august 2008 and i dont know whats gonna happen. before i left the hospital he said that if the dnc doesnt work then he is gonna try this other procedure where he basically burns the uterus. now mind you i have my tubes tied so i cant have anymore kids anyways. but im gonna stay on this situation because i cant live my life this way. its a good thing that my husband is in iraq at this time but what about when he returns. i mean i feel bad for him, this is not normal and i am gonna get down to the bottom of this. im gonna to everything i can to get answers. but i will keep everyoneposted on what my doctors and specialist come up with.

The Dr perscribed me premarin and I do not want to take it. Dr says its to stop bleeding but I read it is for menopause. I am 35 with four children age 20, 19, 16, and 11 I had an iud for ten years and replaced it six months ago. I have been bleeding for six months now with only a day or two break in which I use the time to have sex with my husband of 22 years then start right back up. I do not know what to do.

OMG, I have been bleeding for over a month now. I went to the gyn about 2 weeks ago and she put me ona different pill. Not that it helped. I am so frustrated. Finally I stopped bleeding for 2 days. I just went back on this past thursday and talked to the dr about endometrial ablation, whihc is burning of the uterus. HE did a endometrial biopsy. Now I am bleeding and very very crampy again. TO the point where I am afraid to leave the house. This is disrupting my life so bad and I am really afraid for my marriage at this point. DOnt get me wrong, my husband has been standing by me and even went to the last dr. appt with me. I just dont think this is fair to him or us for them to not know what is going on. TO not get answers, to be told that it is normal. This is not normal this is insane? I am new to this post. SO forgive me if I am blabbing. I am just looking for some one who understands to talk to. I can also be reached at mlm715@verizon.net Sad

I am a 31 yr old female with similar problem. 5 months of bleeding. All tests are clear at the gyno, but going in for MRI to check kidneys and unrinary ducts (?). I also have Bicornuate uterus...which is not the problem or could be if have periods twice. Who knows. I will keep post test results. But in the mean time, have found some comfort in the fact that I am not the only one going through this!

Wow! I'm surprised that you guys have gone so long like this! And here I was worried about bleeding for only one month so far...

I called my doctor to ask what it might be since I cannot afford a doctor's visit witout insurance. They said they think it's my body's way of kicking out the effects of the birth control shot that I had taken the year before.

I started getting the shot in January of 2007, and stopped getting it in September of 2007. I had normal periods after I stopped getting the shot until Janary of 2008. Then I had no periods at all until about a month ago, when I THOUGHT I was having a period, but the bleeding has not stopped. They said they think my body is finally clearing the shot from my system.

I guess I just have to wait it out and see... I'm just so tired all the time and feel sluggish because of how much I bleed every day. It's like constant PMS. It's affecting my job, and my fiance doesn't want to have sex until it stops, so we haven't been together in over a month now... We're trying to have our second child together, but that's impossible in the present situation... I don't know how you guys made it as far as you have... But I guess what else can you do where there's not much of a choice?

I guess I should add to that - I don't really get cramps. Just a lot of back pain. A LOT of back pain. Actually, that's when I bleed even harder is after I'm up doing stuff that makes my back hurt.
