Why am I experiencing heavy periods with fibroids?

I have been suffering from heavy periods since my son was born 6 years ago. I know I have fibroids, but it hasn't been looked at since that time. I'm getting lower back pain, tummy feels on the heavier side and I have put on weight which I'm finding difficult to lose. I feel bloated all the time and it's having an impact on my daily life. What options do I have?

According to your symptoms, the troublesome periods and related bloating may be the result of the fibroids that you are already aware of. Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that are found in the uterus and they can be responsible for heavy bleeding and pressure on the nearby organs, resulting in weight gain and discomfort. To tackle this, you should visit a gynecologist for a check-up and discuss the treatment options including medication or surgery.

I am 28 female. I had no periods from November 2023 to january 2024. I consulted a gynaecologist for the treatment. I have PCOD and weigh 75. I am tring to loose weight. Currently I am on Harmoni F (which I should take on the 5th day of my period)medication. But now i have 2 days of period and it had stopped. What should i do. Should I take regestrone (prescribed by gynaecologist to take to induce period)?

It is normal for women with PCOD to have irregular periods. However, if you have only been menstruating for two days after commencing treatment with Harmoni F, then there is no cause for alarm. Your system might require some time to get used to this medicine. In such situations, Regestrone is usually prescribed for inducing menses. Additionally, concentrate on eating balanced meals and engaging in physical activities to lose weight because it can aid in controlling PCOD signs.

I feel pain at my Lower abdominal

Female | 28

lower abdominal pain can stem from various causes. APPENDICITIS is common.. Kidney stones, urinary tract infections and menstrual cramps can also trigger it. Often, the pain may be harmless. Still, if it persists, consult your doctor. They can diagnose and treat the underlying cause. Avoid self-diagnosis and treatment, since it can worsen the condition.
