Still in alot of pain, finally started my period after 2 months of symptoms, but it doesnt seem normal






    
Asked by Unregistered (Female; 34; family history of femine cancers, ovarian cycts endermetreious, irratic menstral cycles; Relevant drugs:Ibuprophen 200 to 800 mg per day depending on increase of my pain. ) on Thu 24, Jul 2008 01:52am :

after 2 months of having symptoms of menstration as explained in previous question(feelings of bloating, cramping, mood swings, heaviness in pelvic area ect.) I finally started to bleed, still in horrible constant pain. best described as someone taking an ice pick to my uterus. my concern now is my bleeding is like an open wound, fresh bright red blood, none of it is quaggulated like in "normal" menstration seems to be heavier than MY normal. Have been needing to change my pad at least 4 times in the day, and each is usually soaked. these are not panty liners, they are the big old extra absorbant matress sized pads,with dri-weave. lol I know that towards the end of a womans cycle the blood tends to darken up almost turn a brownish color, for me its usually in the 2nd day..and the pain usually decreases. I also noticed an increase of my daily urination. feels like my once baggy jeans are feeling alot tighter now, eating habits have changed to the point that i dont eat as much as I normally do, and not as often as I used to. am I possibly going thru menopause? I have been having some hot and cold flashes, but not exactly sure if that was due to running a slight fever since my last menstral cycle in the middle of may. what can I do to stop the pain and why is the blood sooo red?

Hi, How are you? Bright red blood is usually seen when the periods are heavy. It could also be a sign of infection. You are still very young to be undergoing menopause. Your symptoms could be due to ovarian cysts. Ovarian cysts can cause heavy irregular and painful periods. I would suggest you to please schedule an appointment with your gynecologist at your earliest and undergo a complete clinical examination. OTC NSAIDS like motrin will provide relief from pain. Do keep us posted!
