Women's Health :: Excessive Menstrual Bleeding?
Mar 10, 2015
Does anybody else have problems with this? I've been to several gynos over the last decade and nobody seems to want to give me any kind of resolution. I can't take birth control as it gives me extremely high blood pressure and am not willing to risk the hormonal IUD either. Hormonal birth control of any kind is a no for me as I have been on them all. I have an appointment scheduled in the hopes of getting a prescription for a non hormonal blood reducer called Lysteda but I've heard it's expensive and may not be covered by insurance.

I am 18 years old, sexually active
I have been having intercourse with my boyfriend regularly for the past 5/6 months and we never use any type of protection (yes I know, really bad) we always just make sure he pulls out and he does and everything is just fine. I know that a "safe" time to have sex is during my period due to the fact that the ovule that wasn't fertilized was disposed so that happened. I was around my fourth or fifth day of my period (my normal period lasts 7 days) and he finished inside.. It's happened before so I'm positive there is no problem with that.
When my period finished, I noticed that I have had a lot of discharge and I don't know what it is or why it's happening. It's clear and very watery and sometimes I notice a "different" smell to it, I can't explain it though, it's a bit strong but it's not a completely foul odor either. I believe I should be in my fertile days about know or soon but this has been going on for about 2 weeks now and I'm starting to get worried. Does anyone know what it could be?
Could it be some sort of infection? Or a natural cleansing process? Or something else? Should I worry? Please respond soon as to I am very concerned

I am a 43 year old woman who just recently had sex with a much younger man. He had a very large penis. I have not had sex in over 4 years and the sex with him was extremely painful and I bleed excessively and continued spotting for a couple of days. It was bright red and it was everywhere. Now I have been on the Depo provera birth control shot for at least 6 years. And I have not had a period the whole six years. I understand why I bled but not why so much? Was it because of my age? And I believe the pain was due to not have had sex in years. And another thing, it has been a week since we had sex and I constantly feel like I have to pee, which is now a different shade of yellow and I have an abnormal yellow colored discharge. There is no painful urination, no itching, and maybe just a slight smell nothing strong.
What the heck is going on? Did I catch a STI? Do I have a yeast infection may be due to the excessive bleeding? Or is this something that may just go away soon? Could it be due to my age, nearing menopause and the fact that I have not had sex in over 4 years?

I need to adjust my thyroid supplement therapy. I won't be able to see any of my doctors (GP, gynecologist, endocrinologist) for at least a month. Waiting list is that long.
I have PCOS and Hashimoto's (treated with T4 and T3). My periods have been regular (between 28 and 35 days) since I was 12. However, this month I had my period barely three weeks after the last one. It usually lasts for about 5 days, however today's my 7th day and it doesn't look as if it's going to stop. I've seen my gynecologist twice this august, and all the results were fine.
It's certainly due to overmedication. My endo increased the dosage of my medication 4 months ago. Since then, I tested my TSH and got bad result - 0,1.
She has decreased my dose since, but the result remains the same - 0,1. I'm aware that I need professional help, but I must do something. I can't continue my therapy like this. Any advice on how to decrease the dosage from 50 mg levothyroxine (T3) and 50 mg euthyral (T4 and T3) would save me.

Hi there, I am an 18 y/o female and I have been taking the birth control Kariva since I was 15 for PCOS. About a month ago, I had intercourse with my boyfriend, and afterwards I bled heavily and cramped really bad for a week. I know this bleeding was not my period because I still had a week to go before I took my pills that would start my period. When it was time for me to get my period, I had light bleeding and it ended a day earlier than it should. We used a condom and I take my birth control between 5pm-6pm every night. Does anyone know what could have happened to me? Am I pregnant? I'm just really worried because now I've become bloated, constipated, and I have pain in my lower left and right sides.

I already had my period this month. Literally comes the 1st of the month. Monday I lost my job and yesterday I had sex with my husband. I haven't noticed any spotting all day until just now. I got up to go to the bathroom and when I wiped there was bright red blood.
Normally when I'm with my husband we are very active and try many positions. His favorite being from behind. Yesterday I noticed that he was hurting me, felt like he was hitting my insides and normally that doesn't happen.
I'm just wondering if it's a normal thing in the sense it has happened to other women and maybe it's just from being a little more active.

I had my daughter 5 months ago, and at my 6 week checkup I opted for the depo shot. I didn't like the side effects, so I didn't go back to get it a second time. Right before it was time for me to get it again, I started bleeding. And it's been a month and I'm still bleeding. It's not super heavy but like a normal period, but it NEVER stops. I had to take iron after c-section bc I lost a lot of blood and was anemic, but only for 2 months. I'm wondering if I should take iron again since I've been bleeding so long. And I've called my ob and she said I could go to planned parenthood to get checked since I don't have insurance right now. But other people have said it's normal, so I keep waiting. Anyone been through this?

I have been with the same person for a year. For the first 6-7 months I never bled then all of a sudden I started bleeding every time, even when it isn't rough. Instead of getting wet it's bloody now. I've never had a regular period but always have bad cramps around the time I should start my period. I took birth control pills before to help but it never helped. It's really embarrassing to bleed every time and completely ruins the mood.

Should I be concerned that I'm bleeding for so long after the first time I had sex?
I had sex exactly a week ago and did not bleed until the day after. The blood is bright red and I've been experiencing a lot of cramping too. I'm in the pill and we used a condom so I know I'm not pregnant and it's not time for me to have my period for another week or so.
And top of the constant bleeding I have past 3 small rubbery blood clots...I know disgusting right? But this has never happened before. What's happening? Did I tear something? Should I go to a doctor or just wait?

For the past year I have had bleeding during intercourse but never any pain. I have been told I could have endometriosis and or pcos. I have had bacterial diagnosis and uti off and on for years but I think now I'm having a constant infection that won't go away. I've seen different doctors and they don't seem to be concerned about the bleeding and can tell me what's causing it. It's alarming to me because I know it's not normal and shouldn't be happening all the time during intercourse. I have no pain with it and always plenty of lube. Also I just recently had a saline sonogram that showed nothing. Please what else can they do to figure out what's causing this and should I just let it go untreated?

On a Friday night, I had intercourse with my boyfriend. I noticed pain starting on the right side of my vagina. The next day, the right side was very sore. I went to work, and started having symptoms such as shivering, weakness, nausea, kidney pain, and ovarian pain. I was also suffering from constipation. I went home and felt better besides the vaginal pain on my right side. There was no bleeding. On sunday, I tried to pass stools along when I noticed a little bit of blood from my vagina. It was not coming out on it's own, only when I wiped. The blood wasn't serious. On Monday, the pain from my vagina started to go down, but when I stood up, brown blood/liquid basically squirted out from me. The whole day I had weird liquid just coming out of me. Today(Tuesday), there was more blood when I wiped. Could I have a ruptured cyst or could something have torn inside of me?

I met my boyfriend after 13 days and we made out, actually tried to in a jungle. While we were at it, we saw blood coming out of me and stopped immediately. It could've been rough and I don't get wet easily. I am 30 years old. We have had sex before. Anyhow the same thing happened the second time on the same day, this time we were indoors. However, the third we did it, it was all fine. The next day as well there was no bleeding. I took an emergency contraceptive pill on the third day as we aren't planning for a baby, at least not anytime soon. I am worried and stressed out. I am in love with him, and I know he was a bit scared, if I may say so and it's but natural... Let me know if you need more information.

I'd like to know what can be the cause of some light bleeding and cramps after arousal.
I am in my late 20s, healthy and I am a virgin. I have no boyfriend and I do NOT masturbate with my hands NOR any kind of toy. Sometimes, when I get aroused, I relax and tighten the pelvic muscles (like kegel exercises) and squeeze/unsqueeze my thighs together. That helps me get some kind of release, although I have no idea if any orgasm is achieved.
Thing is, a couple of hours later I get this light bleeding with fresh colored blood. Not big in quantity, but enough to notice when wiping myself for the next two or three bathroom breaks. It does not appear when I clean myself after playing with the muscles (I do get wet), only later. It does appear after every arousal episode.
And, the more intense the feelings, the bigger the chances I also get cramps later that day or the day after. Even if my period is nowhere near. It hurts.

my period hasn't been regular but I've been on the depo shot for about 3 years (I'm not sure if theres correlation). I won't have any blood but after sex there is a little bit of blood, we took a break for a while and there wasn't any spotting or anything but I had sex last night and today there was quite a bit of blood.
it was stretchy, had no odor, but had dark (black even) stringy pieces in it. I'm not sure if I'm feeling any serious pain in my ovaries but I'm really worried about what it could be. The blood is usually stretchy but has never had the stringy black pieces.

I'm a 25 yr old female, married for over a year, and my husband and I have little to no sex life. My heart is breaking because i need to find answers..
I learned to masturbate when i was 12 years old, over the years i've had to think of more and more erotic fantasies or else I can't seem to achieve orgasm. Stimulation isn't enough, and over the years i have rubbed pretty hard. I'm really worried that i may have desensitized my clitoris.
The very first time my husband used a vibrator on my clit it was the most amazing thing i've ever felt... but with more use it's harder and harder to find the right spot, and the batteries have to be FRESH.
Before we got married, i had never had actual intercourse, and my fiance and i would get pretty hot n heavy with petting or whatever. but now that we're married i have a VERY hard time getting aroused around him! I don't like having my nipples touched, we don't do oral because we're both grossed out by it, and i get grossed out by french kissing.
I have a hard time masturbating in front of my husband, i don't know why, i think that i get shy.. and another thing is that whenever my husband and i try to have a kissing session i start to giggle uncontrollably but i don't get aroused.
again, my heart is breaking because we don't have a normal sex life.. i'm desperate for answers... i waited to have sex until marriage and sometimes it feels like it wasn't even worth it.
EDIT: I also forgot to mention that when i do orgasm there's little to no lubrication created, and sexual intercourse hurts and doesn't feel good. I think that part of my arousal problem is the fact that I know that sex isn't going to feel good
