I am 13. Is my period too heavy?!
Question: I am 13!. Is my period too heavy!?
I am 13!. I started my first period about a year ago!. My periods have never been overly heavy, but the last few I have had have been extremely heavy for at least 2 days!. They are so heavy that when I stand up after sitting for a while, it feels like a river is coming out!. My periods tend to last about 5 days, but after those 5 days, I won't bleed for a day, then a little bit of blood will come out!. It is extemely uncomfortable because I feel like I never really know for sure when my period is over or not!. This will continue for up to 5 days!. I feel like I would be more comfortable wearing a tampon, but my mom doesn't buy them, and I am too shy to ask!. I am worried that there is something wrong with me, or that I might be losing too much blood!. My mom is going through something similar!. She has a fibroid, however, and may need a hysterectomy!. I am sooooo worried I might have something like that, or worse!. Please tell me what to do!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

First things first, don't ever be "too shy" to ask your mom about women's health issues!. She is a woman just like you and was in the same position as you one day!. Trust me, she will understand!. Next, I wouldn't worry too much just yet!. Your cycle is relatively new to your body and it is still trying to feel it's way out!. I think that wearing a pantyliner or a lite-days tampon would help the issue of you being unsure when you are going to have spotting!. I would give it a few month before I went to doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
This isn't something you should put off and wait!!! If you're too shy, try leaving a note or an e-mail instead of directly talking to her!. Seeing a doctor to make sure you don't have a problem is important!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
