My wife had her minstreal cycle last week and 2 days after her cycle had ended it started again .but this time she is bleeding realy bad her pads are drenced with blood and she goes through 3 pads every 2 hours .ther are other things two like we haven't had sex in almost 2 years because she said it hurts too bad but when we did have sex in the past she would bleed afterwards .she is 33 years old so I don't think it menopause she's too young for that .so I don't know what it is .should she go to see a doctor .I think she does and I told her she needs to go and I would be by her side but I thinks she's afraid .how do I convince her to go .or does anyone out here have any clue as to what is going on with her .
3 pads ever 2 hours means 1 and 1/2 pads are full each hour. This is extremely, extremely, extremely dangerous.
She needs to seek emergency medical care immediately.
For note, some women today do go through menopause extremely early, even as early as their late twenties. Heavy periods are usually not a major sign of menopause onset though. It's usually the opposite.
If she lets this sort of thing continue then she can develop uterine scar tissue, infections, and serious complications to her life. I once had a period for 2 months solid and became dangerous low on iron and other nutrients--my life was at risk. Your wife's life is at risk. She needs help. Now.
Take her to the ER and get her help so that this sort of thing can be solve and won't continue to happen. Explain to her that it's a very, very serious matter and that, no matter how much her embarrassment, that you care about her and want her to be safe and healthy (and will hold her hand throughout it all). Encourage her to get help now. [ Peeps's advice column | Ask Peeps A Question ]

Well first things first, you have to tell your wife that it could be something very serious. But i highly doubt it. She shouldn't be bleeding that bad, so tell her everything will be alright if she goes to the doctor's, but everything may not be alright if she doesnt'.
Best of luck. xx

The last thing you need is to hear that this problem cannot be fixed and that she'll have it for the rest of her young life. Your wife is young and it's understandable that it's scary and she's probably afraid that something's wrong with her. To be on the safe side, and to possibly cure her problem, she should visit the doctor. Maybe you could try calling a doctor and tell them about the symptoms and see what they suggest if she doesn't want to go in for a visit. There could definitely be a problem in her uterus so my advice is to get that fixed asap before it turns cancerous. [ Teen2TeenHelp's advice column | Ask Teen2TeenHelp A Question ]

If your wife is bleeding that heavily, it's possible that she's miscarrying or that there's another serious medical issue. She could be putting herself at risk of anemia or worse by not seeing a doctor ASAP. [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]
