[@aimeeackerson09]

I'm going to try again. I've been trying for the last 10+ years unsuccessfully to find out what is wrong with me. Every single doctor and OBGYN's "fix" is hormonal birth control, which I can no longer take due to other health reasons... so then I'm basically told "just deal with it, this is your normal". I just want normal healthy periods, not drugs thrown at me 😭

[@shannon9913]

Has your OBGyn ever ordered a pelvic and transvaginal sono for you?

[@plumpnfit]

Have you had your iron levels tested? It could be a lack of iron

[@Subspace._tripmine]

Ask for Tranexamic Acid, brand name Lysteda. This is what I was given. It helps me and my daughter.

My gynae gave me 3 options. 1 hormone therapy, 2 IUD, 3 cauterisarion. Maybe if you plan not to have any children 3 is the best option

[@SWold-fe2gj]

Thank you for the transparency in answering a question many of us have asked repeatedly, and experienced medical gaslighting about in response to our concerns. You are a huge blessing!

[@drlorashahine]

Thank YOU so much for taking time to say something so kind ❤️

[@adapcast]

I have to use adult diapers during the first 2 days because overnights pads just won’t work for me. Today I had a huge bllod cloth come out during my shower almost the size of my palm 😢 I’m a little concerned about that to be honest, I have an appointment in a week to get checked.

[@LemCatOfficial]

Oh my goodness, let us know what they said for anyone else struggling with a similar situation! I hope you are alright and there can be a solution.. A reminder to hold your ground too if they say it's "just a woman's thing." Hope all goes well 🤞😌🤞

[@nataliewilliams551]

Exactly me, I had endometriosis so get checked for that. It’s not comfortable.

[@StephanieFern-oi3xp]

I am really curious. What did the Doctor say? I hope you are doing much better.

[@nataliewilliams551]

Go get it checked . My doctor was amazing and supportive me as i got my first of many surgery’s for endometriosis it in my lifetime. I also get huge clots that size and it’s not nice. So it’s not normal or should be apart of ur life.

[@fromthestars2531]

That's...terrifying. I hope you're doing ok now and got it sorted out. I used to use adult diapers at one point but they didn't work because they're designed to absorb urine, instead. So they leaked everywhere. What brand do you use?

[@user-jm3jt7by4b]

Im only 19, an my doctor doesn't know why i have extreme periods. I have to use the nighttime pads as normal ones if not im doubling up, have to use the largest tampons there are but still fill them in 30 min. Did yhe ultrasounds for endometriosis but didn't find anything. She put me on birth control for my cramps the way id describe it is that its like a white hot jack hammer being turned on and jabbed in my overies. Ive had to miss work because i was in so much pain that i ended up getting fired because it wasn't a "good enough excuse". My periods can last two weeks or just one day. My boyfriend who i live with thinks that "im a big baby" because he thinks its not as bad. This really gave me some good advice for my next visit. Super helpful.

[@SuenosPerdidos]

Hey. I’m so sorry that you’re going through this. I’m 35 now and have had all the struggles you are going through. I was diagnosed with endometriosis almost 2 years ago. I also had the ultrasound a couple of times before being diagnosed, and nothing showed. It was only after having a laparoscopy that they found moderate, encroaching on severe, endometriosis. Keep pushing and for sure get a laparoscopy if you suspect endometriosis. It’s really the only way they can diagnose. Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re just weak and the pain is normal. I’ve had that from people most of my life and it caused a lot of deep set trauma that I’m working through now. Getting a diagnosis was almost a relief because people who had doubted me before finally were put in their place. Only you know what’s right and wrong in terms of your body and pain. As the video says if it’s affecting your every day life it’s not normal - Not even in the slightest. I really hope you get to the bottom of it ❤

[@ayamethompson9435]

A few years ago. I was on my bathroom floor in pain. Pasting big clots. I went to the ER. I was soaking through a pad every hour. The doctor said I have uterine leiomyomas. I was put on birth control. So, the clots are smaller, and i get cramps just 1 or 2 days. The problem I'm having now is long periods. I can deal with heavly flow and cramps but not the long period.

[@kimighee8947]

Thank you for this I'll be making sure the dr does more for me

[@drlorashahine]

Thank you! I really appreciate your reaching out ❤️

[@EnixQueen]

Before my iud mine were 8 to 10 days long. I was not able to hold a job due to how heavy they were. I couldnt leave my house. I got an iud and it made it very light. Ive had my iud and within 7 weeks the strings got lost. Doc tried to remove it last tuesday and its embedded. Now im not eligible for another iud. They told me heavy periods are normal after having 4 kids. Im dreading getting the iid out because even though its embedded i can still do things in my life. 😞

[@rebeccablane]

60 mL .... I lose that in about 4 or 5 hours for 4 days straight, including while sleeping. But if I talk to my doctor about that, I get, *shrug* "Yeah, thats normal." 😂

[@jessicamarcus5158]

Same! She just shrugs and says it's norm and lots of woman have the same type of period. It's so frustrating!

[@habibaali7442]

[@tiffanynicole7533]

This makes me have soooo many questions, after my second born my body has not Bern right and my pcp doesn't belive me. I shouldn't be leaking my ULTRA tampon within an hour ot 2.

[@MsTommyP]

Well this is scary. I've changed my cup 5 times today (overflowing each time) it's just after 12 noon. Also this is my normal level of bleeding.

[@rachellizzie889]

I recently bled once in between periods and last month had two periods. Now I heavy a very heavy period and this cycle is my worst one yet. My overnight pads don't even work and my period leaks through my shorts all over the place and my family notices and is worried as well. This hasn't happened since high school and I'm around 30 now.

[@drlorashahine]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for watching ❤️

[@NatashaGovindasamy]

Thank you for your informative video. My bleeding sessions are torture. I have been bleeding so heavy off and on for the past 2 years that it's driving me crazy. I have been to a doctor who has done a menopausal screen blood test for me and it can back negative. He says nothing is wrong. To explain how bad it gets, I mess my clothes, I go through a pack (18 pads) of ALWAYS NIGHT PADS in 1day. My bathroom floor looks like a murder scene. When I get out of the shower, the blood is running down my thighs. I cannot stand for too long, I bleed excessively. My stomach feels like something is ripping itself apart inside. I'm in continuous discomfort. I feel tired and moody all the time. I eat beetroot and livers to help boost my blood. My blood count according to another test result is sitting at half it's level, 6. So I ask myself how can nothing be wrong when I am losing so much blood. My blood loss lasts a month, sometimes 3 months straight. I am in such distress because no one understands. I went to my GP, hoping he can help, he gave me a birth control to stop the bleeding, it did but it comes back again. My stomach looks like a rugby ball protruding out from it. It feels like something is hard and round at the tip of the point of my stomach, sometimes it hurts and sometimes it does not. I'm lost for words at this point. I live in South Africa, our health system is not the best. Doctors here don't have their patients best interest at heart. It's quite overwhelming, cause I feel alone and no help is arriving at time soon. 😢😔

Oh my goodness I’m sorry you’re going through this. Have u been Check for uterine fibroids ??

[@angelinawagner8899]

I’m Bleeding the same. Day 18 of my period. Last three days I’ve had lots of blood clots. All morning. Then bleeding slows a bit and then starts again. They found a fibroid inside my uterus. They are removing it on June 20th. My concern is will I be ok with losing blood and clots so Much before the surgery. They say it’s. Normal with fibroids but it’s so unpleasant. I’m Bloated and tired and cramp every time I have clots. Miserable. How are you now?

[@sairakhanabbasi]

Does the 2 table spoon of blood is enough? And its normal?

[@meganthompson6676]

I use 2-3 of those "over nite" pads a day for the first 2 days of my cycle; there covered in blood, like they've been soaked in blood. Should I be worried?

[@vickyfinzzi]

(i posted the same question on another video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXzKoZdth69lsK8) Hi Dr. I have a question about my cycle. I use oral birth control (have been for 10+ years) and I used to have my period on day 3 after I stopped, now I am having it at day 6 after I stop and the whole period couldn't fill up a pad, such a low flow.. I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 17, but my last exam showed I don't have it.. . I am planning on stopping the birth control in the next couple months.. Do you think I should reach out to a fertility DR?

[@adrianedossantos7001]

Can you please Dr tell me if Iodine intake can cause spotting Btwn period? Prolonged bleeding?

[@josefinaentero4625]

I'm also worried because I had surgery for 9 moths that I have to maintain a medicine called preninut nor, but after 6 moths that I took my period came back again, I was very worried about my self

[@user-hj5vm7dm3x]

My first period started with heavy bleeding when I bored I bleed a lot till the doctor give me medicine to make it normal, right now my son is 14years old, son I haven't getting pregnant, but I still bleed heavy for two days and the rest of the day can be small. Please educating

[@deshaylasmith3518]

Doctor never gave resolution i been going through this since I was 11 and im. 37. I been on every birth control and my body reject it or i get allergic reaction. While pregnant with my they found cyst on my ovaries which was cancerous but I past it. But didn't know prior I been getting these cyst but I have been passing them(the spotting). After I had my first child my period were heavy and painful. Where I was wearing diapers and changing alot lasted for a year. After that they a week or 2 weeks. I had 2 more children and 2 miscarriages. Since age of 32. Now I have huge clots size of sliders and feel like contraction. Weeks and consistently uti and constipation . they have no resolution other than removal. Smh btw I release multi eggs a month instead of one. If anyone has same issues please let know relieve this pain other than

[@andreazwart9907]

Can you explain why ibuprofen would help with heavy periods? I thought as an NSAID, ibuprofen would make the bleeding worse, even if it’s not as severe as aspirin, Heparin, etc.

[@mauritahowell1415]

[@melaD333]

Thanks for all the information.. but you never mentioned perimenopause (or did I miss it?) - I have had the heaviest bleeding since entering perimenopause.

[@drlorashahine]

Thank you! Heavy bleeding at perimenopause can happen but some people have the opposite experience- lighter and less frequent. Hope you’re feeling ok

[@NordiaBryan]

Good night i only see my period for only 2days then i see spot can i get pregnant

[@constancefaithful1451]

After my 2 boys ,I have heavy periods with blood clots,it last for 3 days and after that is just spotting

[@angelwilliams5428]

I used adult diapers and I have when 4 off them and they go through that did have change them sick on my stomach I can put my stomach hurts all the time is sick all the time a week and try to do a lot of things best I can.

[@Phaith2006]

Something to really think about: where is the menstrual blood coming from? Although it exits thru the vagina, is this the same blood in our veins.

[@zelou4970]

Its my second period like ever and ive bled through 3 pads in around a few hours not counted a pair of underwear ruined, and using toilet psper because im out of pads and its 3am, I hate this 😭 i cant sleep! Idk what to do rn cause idk even know much about periods yet

[@jivikadhingra3272]

In last month I miss my period in this month I get my period back but it is 8 days I have please tell me reasons about that

[@maryl9432]

I had clots yesterday and heavy bleading im worried

[@HabilaHaske]

What about 1 to 2 or 3 days is this normal

[@mermaidmellerz9707]

I am a non-diabetic taking metFORMIN to become more insulin sensitive due to PCOS symptoms. I was having 6 week long menses with heavy bleeding. After taking metFORMIN for 2 months, I had a single "light" period, but now I am bleeding extremely heavy--heavier than before and there are so many clots. I see now this is severely abnormal bleeding. Do you think using metFORMIN could have influenced this current heavy cycle?

[@madhumitachoudhary120]

I m facing the same issue, could you tell me what you did with your issue.

[@mermaidmellerz9707]

@madhumitachoudhary120 I continued to take the medication, and the excessive heavy bleeding slowed down significantly. Now it's been 3 weeks with extremely light spotting every other day. (Sorry if TMI, but let me explain "extremely light bleeding." Every other day or so, when I wipe myself after urinating, I would get light pink to red, clear, sticky discharge. I know it is weird that it is clear, but there it is, like clear vaginal lubrication with streaks of dark red or just a pink hue. Again, sorry if tmi!) did not change anything other than intentionally eating healthier (like salads everyday, whole grains, non startchy veggies, and fruit.) When I was bleeding for 6 weeks in a row, I never had more than 2 weeks with a break from the heavy flow, so right now, with 3 weeks of light spotting, it has been just fine with me. I'm scheduled to see an OBGYN at the end of march, and they will be doing an ultrasound on my ovaries to see if there are cysts or fibroids in my uterus. With the light bleeding, I haven't needed to use products at all. It is not a flow, it is just there when I wipe. Idk if that helps at all but that's been my experience since my last comment.

[@crystalscheider4575]

I get told that i need to try birth control, and lose weight. No one seems to be sympathetic or give me many answers. I get take iron and ibuprofen. Thank you for thos video.

[@corainight5378]

I have always had heavy periods. I have to wear ultra tamps and huge pose pads and have to change them every couple of hours. On top of that I am on my period right now but I don't have the money to get any pads or tamps at the moment. So I am wearing a load of tissue. I feel like crying right now.😢

[@candicesingleton2191]

I use 2 overnight pads and a pullup and sometimes still go through

[@MariamTalks]

Try period pants but also checks for endo or ando. And fibroids

[@sarahsaxton234]

I have had bad periods so much that I once passed out in class when I was 18 years old and I once bled for 3 weeks

[@TheBlogWasWendi]

What helped you?

[@user-ub8dh4wp8c]

So i have this....i lose at least 2 liters only the second and third days... .... and I have of course anemia and iron deficiency, pills dont help much. I have that since for ever, and i am supposed to get my menopausia soon, some friends have it already. So, knowing you have these problems, does not help at all.

[@mandydingle4086]

I was in my 2 week wait when I started bleeding and it’s heavier than I have ever experienced. Last time I had my iud removed in 2020 I got pregnant first cycle so this time I thought the same thing would happen. I had my iud removed Jan 10. I tracked my cycle and should have ovulated on Jan 21. I started spotting on feb 1 and today it was extremely heavy. Soaked 3 tampons during day and still leaked. Over night I leaked which normally I never even have blood at all at night it’s always super light at night I’m the past. Just little freaked out.

Dear Lora, could you make an analogue video for light menstrual flow? I am 35 and have periods that last 2.5-3 days max, never soaking a full pad, and my OB-GYN says it is normal and nothing to worry about, but everywhere I look this seems to be abnormally light. Would be great to know what can cause this and what tests would be useful. Thanks!

[@drlorashahine]

Thank you - that can be normal but if it’s a CHANGE for you after a uterine procedure or pregnancy then that could be worrisome for scarring. A uterine cavity evaluation like a HSG or saline sonogram and help make sure the uterine cavity is normal ❤️❤️❤️

[@habibaali7442]

I need talk you I’m bleeding money years

[@yogamomny]

I use a Size large menstrual cup and I have to empty it at least four times a day because it will become filled and leak through onto my pad. I literally have to use pads designed for incontinence with a menstrual cup or I will have a wardrobe mishap. I bleed a full week but the last three days are light. I’m severely anemic and getting iron infusions and as soon as I start to menstruate my levels drop down again. My doctor told me she was surprised I’m functioning as well as I am. Little does she know I’m not really functioning well at all I feel Like the walking dead most days. She wants to give me an iud but I worry about perforation and I’ve been researching getting an ablation but apparently that can make it harder to diagnose uterine cancer if a woman develops that issue so I’m just unsure what to do at this point but I’m so depressed because my quality of life has been terrible for so long and this is the first doctor that has even listened to me. I’ve been dealing with this for over thirty years. Thanks for all the information. I’m going to ask my doctor about some of these things at my next visit.

[@Angel-nl8np]

Other doctors on KZbin talking about consuming fresh Aloe vera to decrease heavy bleeding as Aloe has hormone balancing effects. Now I’m confused as you are saying not to consume Aloe Vera

[@desertoasis2024]

From what I understand, heavier obese women menstruate more than skinny thin women. Two of my skinny gal pals only bleed 3 days a cycle. I'm larger than them and I bleed usually 7 days every cycle. Problem is that for the past year and a half now, I've bled every other week, so I'm having 26 menstrual cycles a year. That's too much! And now, I've been on my period 10 days already. Hormone imbalance, perimenopause, thyroid issues are probably the root causes. I can't wait to stop menstruating permanently. Menopause would be a Godsend.

[@nataliewilliams551]

Not always true. I suffer from endometriosis,low ovarian reserve,thryriod issue, Low iron and my hormone are imbalance all playing affect to my cycle.I’m not small but I’m not huge- I have friends who have endometriosis who are size 8-14 so size or body shape doesn’t matter- basically it doesn’t discriminate. It can be very painful and something alot of us would love to get rid of the heaviness ,large clots or length.

I was 120 and bleeding like a mfr.

I have been bleeding for 53 days I have PCOS hypo thyroidism low iron and obesity I went eight months without one then lost twenty five pounds and now I can't stop bleeding I've spent two hundred dollars on period products in three weeks it's miserable

[@leoniep9231]

A friend of me who is a bit overweight tells me she bleeds only 2-3 days, and only very little. I am quite skinny and bleed heavily for 7-8 days. I think anecdotal evidence is not going to be useful - we would need a statistical survey with a larger sample size and one that includes other factors as well, like diet etc., because correlation of factors does not automatically equal causation.

@@aneesahm4301 oh wow. I’m in my 20s so no menopause

I called my doctor and she prescribed me a birth control pill called Nortrel. I was to take 3 pills a day for a week and then go to 1 a day for 21 days. We’ll, after the first 3 pills it stopped my bleeding! So happy but this is a temporary fix. I am not staying on bc for the long term. Maybe do a partial hysterectomy

lol ive had bleed through your tampon and pad every couple hours periods my whole life, and as long lasting as ten months with only a day or two of brown or no blood. but because i dont have any serious pain with them, my drs have repeatedly said well lets see how you feel in x amount of time or my favorite, if you lost the weight everything would fix itself. my husband was always confused why i sleep on towels, or changed my pants several times a day, until one period free day, i passed a clot shopping and it was like the damn shining elevator scene through swimsuit, leggings and jeans. but still the drs say im fine
