Long lasting heavy menstrual cycle?!


Question: Long lasting heavy menstrual cycle!?
I have been on my period for 6 weeks now, and it shows no signs of stopping!. I'm not having cramps but I am dropping heavy clots!. what should I do!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
When menstrual bleeding is heavy, clotting can also occur!. Losing large clots can be extremely upsetting and even painful if they are large because they can cause cramping as they pass through the cervix!. There is a simple explanation as to why these large clots are formed!. All blood contains a clotting factor!. To enable menstrual blood to flow freely from the uterus (womb) and leave your body without clotting, the uterus produces an anti-clotting agent!. But if the menstrual loss is heavy, it is possible that the anti-clotting agent will be used up before a period has finished, so that the remaining blood is likely to form clots!.

Some causes of heavy menstrual bleeding

# Unexplained - for half of all cases no cause can be found!.

# Contraceptive coil (IUD) - the coil can cause heavier, longer periods!.

# Injectable contraception (Depo Provera) - can cause heavy or prolonged bleeding!.

You need to go to the gynecologist!. I did that for 3 months one time before I decided to go, because I became anemic!. You don't want that!. And besides, you need to make sure nothing bad is wrong with you!. The gynecologist can also give you something to regulate you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you need to go to a doctor and get norethisterone 5mg three times daily to stop the bleeding!. my guess is you never produced an egg last cycle and didn't get the progestrone burst as the unfertilised egg dies off that initiates a short sharp mensisWww@Answer-Health@Com

My longest period when i get my few first menstruals is only about 2 weeks long!. I suggest you go see a gynecologist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
