Why wont my friend stop bleeding?

Question

My friend started her piriod last monday and it is really heavy and is not stoping. she went to the emergency room but was sent home to wait for test results but it has been 48 hours since. she suffers from severe to moderate cramps and has clotts the size of bottle caps. please tell me what to do or could be done.

Answer 1

I have been bleeding for almost 4 months, with similar symptons. She could have Polyscstic ovarian syndrome (which i have) or endometrious. Her GP can check her levels to confirm this. There is medication called Prinoult N whih stops the bleeding by thickening the walls of the uterus, its a 10 day course taking a tablet 3 times a day, her bleeding should subside not long after, it's done wonders for me! Good luck.

Answer 2

Sounds normal but she needs to lay off any meds that may make her bleed more like motrin or advil.
Some girls go thru heavy flo periods, the clots sound normal.
Get her some Pamprin and some Calcium tablets

Answer 3

I would suggest she see a gynecologist for a checkup. With her blood loss, anemia could result. There are many possibilities and that's why she needs to see a specialist. Did she get an ultrasound or Cat scan?

Answer 4

She needs to call them and get the results. Does she have a regular doctor? Call that doctor and let her know what is going on. She may need to see an OB/GYN as soon as possible.

Answer 5

wait she's had the period for 6 days? Is she sexually active? Does she regularly have heavy periods? More information is needed.

Answer 6

nothing can really be done right now unless she has a D&C. if she is not anemic, she doesn't need it. she can go on birth control pills to keep this from happening in the future

Answer 7

go back to the ER and do not leave untill you have answers could it be a miscarraige? she needs medical attention and lots of it good luck sweetie that sounds painful.
