Menstrual problem.....?!


Question:

Menstrual problem.....?

I am asking on behalf of a worried friend. She had to have a surgical termination 5months ago after medical termination did not work. Periods prior to this were regular. She is 27yrs old and was very ill during pregnancy and had to have abortion due to health reasons. Since Feb 10th she has not stopped bleeding and is getting worried. Doctors cant do an internal exam due to heavy menstruation. She has been tried on various meds to control the bleed but they dont have much impact. Doctor has recommended a scan but still waiting for this. She is worried as has been bleeding for so long without any break. Can anyone advise what may be wrong, she is also worried about fertility now. She also has enduring abdominal bloating too. Please only serious answers

Answers:

I would doubt that her hormone levels are normal. Has she had a saliva test done as blood test do NOT show active hormone levels.

Her body maybe taking time to settle after the termination. Her symptoms
heavy periods
bloating
irregular periods are some of the many things in the Miriam Brazel list http://www.ylcf.org/hormone-imbalance/06... Possibly the stress of the termination has turned her estrogen dominant

Stress can cause a release of cortisol with uses the same receptors as progesterone so inhibiting the progesterone.

When the progesterone is inhibited estrogen dominace arises. More details at

She may wish to do the on line hormone tests at http://www.hormoneprofile.com or http://www.johnleemd.com

If as I suspect they recommend you obtain hormones please have a saliva test done see http://www.npis.info or http://www.salivatest.com. A saliva test will check out active hormones something that blood tests do not. The WHO (World Health Organisation) uses saliva tests.

If a hormone is suggested by the saliva test please take the dose suggested. Size 10 shoes are not twice as good if you have size 5 feet.

A transcript of a John Lee talk http://www.keepsmilin.com/transcriptdrle... I have transcribed John Lee's December 2002 & June 2003 talks
http://uk.geocities.com/willim_walker@bt...
Any of these talks explain why for active hormone levels a blood test is worthless. Blood tests find hormones, but they are the ones on their way out of the body having done their work. They are not the active hormones.

I would rely on a saliva test to confirm the requirement for progesterone or any other hormones.

There is a list of doctors at http://www.npis.info who are aware of the benefits of natural progesterone they may be more helpful than your GP. Maybe you are about to educate your GP before using the hormones.

In countries other than the UK there are doctors knowledgeable about natural progesterone and other hormones

Natural progesterone means natural to humans i.e. identical to that produced by the human body.

For a good explanation of how vital natural progesterone is to humans see
http://www.hormoneprofile.com/howhormone...
and other pages on this site

Wild yam is that Wild Yam the body will not convert it to progesterone. Also do not take fake/synthetic progesterone/progestins manufactured by the drug companies they will be of NO benefit.

After having done a saliva test I would suggest you talk to one the NPIS ones or your own GP, before you buy progetrone which must be natural progesterone USP. USP means United States Pharmacopoeia.

If you skip to the end of http://uk.geocities.com/willim_walker@bt... there is a good summary -- 22 Susan Aschoff - St Petersburg Times Summary

When her hormone balance is better she''ll be healthier. All the best
