am going through this too, all effort I put in ends up in vain am sick ...
I'm 39 now I've had nonstop bleeding for months a couple times. My grandmother also had the same problem. The 1st time it lasted for about 6 months & stopped on its own. The last time it happened I bleed for over 8 months the only thing that stopped it was they scrapped my uterus, the only thing that the dr saw wrong was my uterus had a film on it. With my grandmother she was told that her uterus was flipping & that is what caused her bleeding problem. I've never been pregnant & my grandmother only had 1 child at 38. Hope this helps a little, I know it's fustrating. Regarding having sex take a shower with your partner.
IM 17 years old and I have the same problems i have no idea who to go to/talk to or what to do... I’ve been bleeding for 6 months straight now and I’m over it
My poor girlfriend has the same thing wrong with her. She had no period for two or three months and now she won't stop and we're on her 3rd month I'm very concerned and she doesn't want to go to the doctor
Please please inform everybody on here because my girlfriend is only 18 and she doesn't deserve to be thrown to the side over and over and over just like any of y'all do. Nobody should have to bleed that long and have doctors just say it's alright don't worry. If you find a remedy please message me. Again this regards my girlfriend and were worried. Please any info

I’m fifteen years old and I’ve had constant periods every six months and I went to the gynecologist and they basically asked me if I was lying because all the test came back negative, and I’m not. I’m on like seven different kinds of medication for it and a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE EXPERIENCING THIS. Finally a doctor at the Mayo Cinic diagnosis me and my future went down the drain when I heard that I could never have any children i
Hello ladies. I have been experiencing the same problem for the past three months. I don't get my period anymore, just a very slight pinkish/red bleeding that occurs mostly when I pee or have a bowel movement... especially when I strain during a bowel movement or force it out. I had a transvaginal ultrasound which showed a vaginal infection, but the doctor said this can't cause any bleeding or missed periods, only cottage cheese like discharge. So I would like to have a colposcopy or pap smear as well, but I'm not sure if I can get it while I'm bleeding. The funny thing is that I have also been experiencing diarrhea and sometimes constipation, much gas and abdominal pain (like when you have a stomach virus) the last three months, so I went to a gastroenterologist as well who diagnosed me with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I can't understand what's going on with my body and how did both things start at the same time. I'm going crazy! I don't even feel like a woman anymore with all this vaginal bleeding... :(
I have been bleeding for 8 months; everyday. I am 38 years old. In March of 2017, I had the Mirena IUD removed and the bleeding stayed continual and dark colored. In May, my gallbladder ruptured inside of me and I had to have emergency surgery. My doctor seemed unconcerned. Now, I have no insurance and can't see another doctor. Can anyone give me any advice on what to do?
I was bleeding for 6 months, laboratory came back negative for infections. I had my colposcopy done and waiting for the biopsy result. I am taking iron and vitamin C for about 2 weeks to keep me from getting anemia and my bleeding stopped. I don’t know if iron and vit. C helped stop the bleeding
I have an appointment today. Been bleeding since January. Was told may need a hysterectomy. I'm only 39 so worried about it. I'll post later on results.
Does it help with the bleeding
I have had those same symptoms and others with abnormal labs test results. Found out that I had early stage liver failure. Many doctors don't test for it. I did my own research on the many symptoms I have and meanings of my lab results and 90% of them pointed to it. Doc didn't think so and didn't want to do the test. Told him if I get worse and it turns out to be that, I was going to sue for malpractice. So he did the tests for it and sure enough, that's what it was!
Sounds like early stage liver failure
Do you experience vaginal bleeding or spotting outside of your menstrual period, frequently or occasionally? While the cause is likely to be benign, unusual bleeding deserves your attention.
Bleeding or spotting between periods is something that lots of women experience at some point, either occasionally or regularly, during every menstrual cycle. It is important to acknowledge any non-menstrual bleeding or spotting, as it can indicate medical problems that require treatment.

Normal menstrual cycles can last anywhere from 21 to 35 days. Most women have irregular cycles at the beginning and end of their reproductive lives, while some will always remain irregular. Menstrual flow itself also varies from woman to woman and sometimes from month to month — a woman may bleed for as little as three days or as long as a full week.

It's spotting (very light bleeding) or bleeding outside of the menstrual period, during which the uterus sheds its lining in preparation for a new reproductive cycle that should catch your attention.
"Mid-cycle bleeding" doesn't have to occur right in the middle of your cycle, and unless there is an obvious explanation such as ovulation or implantation bleeding, it should always lead a woman to make an appointment with her obstetrician/gynecologist.
In this article, we'll take a look at possible causes of bleeding or spotting between periods, as well as the other symptoms associated with these causes.
Ovulation Bleeding And Implantation Bleeding
Some women regularly experience a light spotting that is easy to miss around the time of ovulation. This is due to hormonal changes. More concretely, because the uterine lining has thickened in preparation for a possible pregnancy but the hormone progesterone has not reached a level at which it can easily be contained. The cervix opens as you approach ovulation, which makes it easier for blood to be expelled. This bleeding is called ovulation bleeding.
Ovulation bleeding is not universal by any means, but a significant minority of women will experience it. It is completely normal and not something you need to worry about.
Another benign cause of bleeding during your menstrual cycle is an implantation bleeding. If you are trying to conceive and notice a light spotting between seven and 10 days following ovulation, it could be a very early pregnancy sign. An implantation bleeding is created as a tiny embryo implants into the blood-rich environment of the uterine lining. Around 20 percent of women experience this light spotting when they get pregnant.
Uterine Fibroids And Polyps
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths within the uterus, that affect many women of reproductive age at some point. Fibroids develop from the smooth muscular tissue of the uterus, and they can be so small that you'd need a microscope to detect one or so large that they affect the shape of the uterus.
Fibroids can result in heavy and prolonged menstrual periods, pain (in your back and legs as well as obviously your abdomen), frequent urination and constipation as well as irregular bleeding.
If the pain is severe or you bleed heavily, seek medical assistance immediately.
Uterine polyps are often confused with fibroids, but they form differently. They are attached to the inner wall of the uterus, and form from the overgrowth of endometrial (uterine lining) tissue. Like fibroids, polyps vary greatly in size.
Irregular menstrual bleeding, heavy bleeding, and infertility can result in addition to bleeding between periods. Polyps are more common in older women who are approaching the menopause.
Adenomyosis
Adenomyosis is a disorder of the endometrium, the tissue that usually lines the uterus. Less well-known then endometriosis — in which endometrial tissue appears outside the uterus —
adenomyosis is a condition in which endometrial tissue invades the muscular wall of the uterus.
Adenomyosis is more common in the later stages of the reproductive years, after having children. Besides bleeding between periods, symptoms include heavy and prolonged periods, heavy pain and cramps, passing blood clots and pain during intercourse.
Cervical, Endometrial, And Ovarian Cancer
The possibility that abnormal vaginal bleeding is an indication of cancer is the reason it is always wise to see a doctor if you notice bleeding between periods or after the menopause.
Cervical cancer typically does not have symptoms in the early stages. When symptoms appear, the cancer is already more advance. Vaginal bleeding, watery discharge that can smell foul and contains blood, and pelvic pain (including during sexual intercourse) would be tell-tale signs.
Vaginal bleeding after the menopause is especially concerning.
Endometrial cancer causes abnormal vaginal bleeding in its earlier stages, something that facilitates early detection. The remaining symptoms are the same as described for cervical cancer.
Ovarian cancerstarts in the ovaries and can then spread to the uterus. Its
symptoms include abdominal pressure and a feeling of fullness, bloating, digestive problems, frequent urination, low back pain, fatigue and a loss of appetite.
