Irregular period and overbleeding

Answered on 27th Sept '24

Heavy bleeding between periods can indicate underlying issues. It may be due to hormonal imbalances or growths in the uterus. Symptoms include prolonged periods, spotting between cycles, and irregular cycle lengths. It's important to see your gynecologist to identify the cause. Treatment options may involve hormones or surgery, helping to restore balance and provide relief.

35 Female with lower abdominal pains below the belly button, bilateral(on both the left and right sides) unilateral in nature(where one sided pain occurs). Sharp and pinpoint to same location for both left and right sides, directly across from each other. happening since October 2021, coincided with period first occurrence on right side 2021 thought it was a cyst at first. Went away until the second occurrence on June 19th, 2022(period cycle then was June 8th - 16th), right side. Went away and returned September 25th, 2022 on left side this time(period cycle for September 2022 was the 3rd through 11th), it occurred again in January 7th 2023 on the right side(period cycle for January 2023 a skipped period) at this point I still thought it was was cyst like pain or even ovulation pain bothering me,so I went to gynecologist, they thought it could be large intestine related due to the location of the pains. I got an ultrasound that came back normal in February of 2023. The same day i had the ultrasound, I went to medexpress to get my physical for my driver's permit, and they suggested asking my previous pcp for a ct scan, to check my appendix. It was hard to get into my previous pcp as I didn't see them in 3 years so I wasn't established. I reached out to the gynecologist I saw in january of 2023, in June 2023 when I had another occurrence of the pain, to see about getting a ct scan. It was approved by insurance, but ultimately denied under physician review( by the supervising gynecologist, and my previous pcp, because my ultrasound was normal). I then established care in December of 2023, with a new pcpx who is suspicious that my pains are coming from ibs mixed with spasms. I am taking dicyclomine 10 mg 4 times a day as needed, but it's not really doing anything when the pains occur. My pcp also changed my dicyclomine to a 45 day supply as I asked in a different question. I also met with a surgeon in March of 2024 due to a large gallstone, as my pcp said they were common in people my age. The surgeon gave a complete different answer than what I have been given before, and he thought my pains could be coming from endometriosis. The surgeon performed my cholecystectomy, on May 29th, and did a general exploration during it, but found no endometriosis. My pcp still suggested getting an evaluation for endometriosis just to know we didn't miss anything, as well as getting evaluated by a gastroenterologist. As my pains have still been continuing. What could these pains be coming from? I feel like I will be tossed back and forth between gynecology and gastroenterology, and I don't want that at all. Some helpful info: My new pcp also diagnosed me with pcos as I fit the criteria for it with my irregular period cycles, despite my bloodwork and ultrasound coming back normal. I also had the cbc; comprehensive metabolic panel; celiac; thyroid; A1C; ESR; and C-Reactive protein all tested in December of 2023 when I met with my new pcp. The only two that came back as abnormal were my ESR at 34 and C-Reactive protein at 29.7

It could be a sign of pregnancy or could be other health factors like stress, weight fluctuations or hormone imbalances. Talk to your gynecologist to identify the root of the problem and get the best treatment.

‪ I have pain in lower abdomen since yesterday and also back pain and my periods are not dated yet so is it my missed pregnancy or early pregnancy symptoms and I had one missed pregnancy before. Is. And I had my periods on the 1st of March so how long do I have to wait for a pregnancy test?

Female | 18

It is difficult to diagnose without performing physical examination. On the other hand, the lower abdominal pain and back pain are frequently the early symptoms of pregnancy. As you have had a missed pregnancy once, it is advisable that you make an appointment with your gynecologist for an evaluation. A test can be taken between 1 and 2 weeks after a missed period.

Hello, when I was young I had a wound inside the incision-shaped urination hole extending inward from the front vaginal wall side. The wound was healed, but that incision remained approximately 1cm long. Now I have doubts that it will turn into fistula after sexual intercourse or normal childbirth. Is there a risk in having this incision knowing that at the moment it does not cause me problems and urine comes out of its normal opening naturally. This problem worries me very much.

Without a physical examination, it is hard to really determine the reason. For this reason, you should be referred to a gynecologist who can perform a detailed check and can prescribe you medications
