Question Posted Saturday September 24 2011, 10:43 am
Hello..My sister has been having this problem for about a year now..every time she goes to the doctor they give her birth control pills to stop the bleeding. Well when she get's her period it sometimes last for a month and when it stops it starts like 2 weeks or 3 weeks later. I know that is strange and is definitely not healthy. She has been feeling very weak and she doesn't normally get cramps but they have been very bad lately. Also she went to the hospital and they did a lot of tests but they didn't do anything for her just sent her to a specialist. She cannot afford that. It's getting so bad i mean while she is on her period for like a month it's heavy non-stop and last year when she went to the doctor they said her blood count was 8.2 which means she might need a blood transfusion but she didn't get one because she cannot afford it or have insurance.
Do you know what could be a possible cause for this problem? I am afraid this is a threat to her life. Also do you know what she could do?? I don't know where else to go for help.
Sorry this is so long!
i had an aunt who bled really bad and heavy for weeks and it turned out she had like tumers(non cancerous) growing in her womb and that caused the bleeding. she eventually had to have a historectamy(excuse my spelling) and now all is well.
is there no other doctors that she cam go to for a second opinion? i wish i could help more but abnormal menstrual bleeding is never a good thing and if she needs blood its coz she is hemraging too much....
