Hi,
Im VERY overweight....obese!
For about ten years I have had issues with my periods, doctors tell me its due to my weight.
But now Its really getting me down. I bleed up to 4 or 5 months non-stop.
The blood is massive blood clots - not just flowing blood. When I say massive I mean the size of a hand. I have had x-rays ect and they see nothing....
Its all about my weight so they tell me. But I am not so sure! I have a lot of friends who are way bigger then me and do just fine where I have read about thin women having dramas like I have.
I have NO sexual drive and have not had one for about a year now.
They thought I may have that poly thing but I dont.
I suffer with HEAPS of pain! I am tired ALL the time. I know my weight does add a lot to what is wrong with me but I do think there is something more to this.
I have seen six doctors who dont bother to really test me or anything, they take one look at me and say - its because your fat!
Okay granted it may very well be but why cant I be treated like a normal women and have the test ect done to make sure Im ok. I dont count a few x-rays as enough!
I hurt everyday! My family life is bad! I am married and my hubby cant stand the fact I bleed like this, have no sex drive and feel bad all day everyday.
I have never used condoms ect with my hubby and I have not had any kids! His sperm is fine! I know people who are obese have issues with having kids but we are talking 11 years of issues and noone taking it for real.
My back does what I call spasams. It contracts for up to 40 mins right before I get a massive clot. ( I get them all the time but Im talking a really big one that makes me want to throw up)
The doctors dont think that my back has anything to do with my periods.
I know my body well enough to know that the doctors are very wrong!
Im sure I have something more then what the doctors tell me, Im sure its not just about being fat!
I cant do ANYTHING! I fill up a tampoon with in an hour! My clothes get blood all over them, my bed ect.
Please someone help me! I have no life but pain and blood!
Im only 27 years old and for the past 10 years I have had this!
Way back then I wasnt over weight so I know there is something wrong with me!
Please someone help me! I have no life but pain and blood!

Hi! I am very sorry you are going through such a bad period in your life. I wish there was something I can say to help you but I am not a doctor, however still wanted just to say hello because I can see you are hurting.
Has any of the doctors decided to have your hormones checked? Thyroid, estrogen, progesteron, etc
Obesity has a lot to do with hormones, it could mess up your whole cycle and everything else related to hormonal effects and changes including sex drive.
My friend who is also obese suffered similar problems. It's been over 8 years she's been obese and during this period she would have incredibly rare periods. Then suddenly she would just experience a frightening, massive period. She was tested and found hormonal disorder. They reckon it is due obesity.
Please, don't underestimate the effects of obesity on overall health. It is really huge.
If I were a doctor I would test to check for hormones....

Oh yeah I have had all that done...
I had more male hormones then I should have.
I know being obese add A LOT of drama to what Im going though but the fact is I had a lot of this drama when I was sill in high school and back then I wasnt obese....

Well now its worse then ever. My hubby wont give a sh*t and thats the worse part of it. To his its just icky and he wont deal. I cant even move without having a fist full of blood. My bed is destroyed, my pants, everything! Doctors waste my time. They wont help or just go over the same bull every time. Oh my of the same x-rays, more of the same tests....just make it stop! Im so over this now. If I cant get help and a someone to fix me I just feel like taking my life - yes, all over my periods!

I am 37 yrs old...had the same problem...overweight...bleeding issues....went on the pill had no period...went off the pill had no period...then had my period for 2 yrs straight....went thru all the bloodwork....maybe pcos.....then find out after going thru test after test...and them NOt seeing polyps that I had polyps......ok went thru D and C...with hystereoscope.....Much BETTER....SEEK OTHER DOCS...TELL THEM YOU KNOW YOU ARE OVERWEIGHT BUT THE BLEEDING HAS TO STOP SO THAT YOU CAN START TO WORK ON YOUR WEIGHT ISSUE... Who feels like working out or walking while bleeding to death....If they still wont listen find a really good homeopath...they can give you stuff naturally to stop bleeding if you go to them with the actual diagnosis....Hope this helps.....I felt the suicidal feelings too and was not even remotely interested in sex...thank god my husband was understanding however we did have our arguements and drawn out fights....and by the way if you are obese it is hard to see with regular sonagram they need to do transvaginal sonagram or a saline hysterosonagram to actually see things.....Sometimes there are fibroids and they also are not just found all the time in a regular exam!!! Good luck my friend!
