Question - (20 January 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 20 January 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Dear Cupid's, I have a question for all the girls out there and any guys who are medically oriented. I suffer from excedingly heavy periods, that are very painful and completely dibilitating. Included in my flow are huge clots and things that are not blood clots but look like tissue and meat. they are insoluble and really hurt. I was wondering what I could have because I am positive what I am experiencing isn't normal. I'm on my period at the moment and couldn't go into school today, I've gone through 13 pads today and it's only 2pm. I am in absolute agony and don't know what to do. Ibroprofen doesn't work, nor do hot water bottles. Please help, I'm in tears at the moment. What could I have? What can I do about it?

xx-lilmiss-xx agony auntHey, I know what ya goin through, i have the same problems, but trust me ya need to go and see a doctor or your GP, i went to see mine and they prescribed me some tablets, not the pill/birth control, but some called Mefenamic Acid, it helps, reduces the flow, and helps break down the not so much clots, but the tissuey meaty bits, an its also a pain killer so it sorts things out so when yu go and see your doctor mention them =)

i wish u the best of luck, and hope things go well and dont b frihtened about seeking medical help, everything is confidential and the understand what your going through, theyre only here to help =) xx

Awe hun, you poor thing. I'd make an appointment this minute to see a doctor in the next couple of days, This isn't an uncommon thing, you're not the only one believe me. But at the same time it can be the symptoms of something else and really needs checking out.

I know it will feel really awkward going to a doctor with this but maybe try a nurse if that helps. If it sorts the problem then I'm sure 15 mins with a doctor who has seen it all before isnt such a bad thing.

The doctor will most likely prescribe the pill, it really helped mine.

Best of luck, I really hope you get it sorted
