1 Period from Hell, Blood Clot size of egg now breast pains...Any suggestions?

Question

Hi, I recently had 4 periods over 6 week gap, pretty light, then finally 3 weeks ago one hell of a period, pulling my insides out honestly thought i was losing my womb, lasted approx 36 hours then passed a clot the size of a medium egg, pains subsided but bleed persisted for further 5 days, heavy was an understatement. Periods hopefully now settled, but since then I am waking up with very tender nipple pains, lasting only minutes like wanting to explode then settle, but tender breasts all day. Can anyone relate or advise?? Defo not pregnant - immaculate if was. In 30's. Thanks for any genuine help

Thank you for all your replies. I didnt mention I have just lost a family member and unexplainable emotions, simple to put down to this reason but would you think I am under-reacting? or is it more just health as apposed to emotions? TY rockjock, checked out website - will investigate findings x

Answer 1

Everyone knows the teen years can be difficult - for both teens and parents. All those physical changes during puberty can make adolescents feel awkward and unsure of themselves.

This is particularly true for girls when it comes to menstruation. For a girl, getting her first period is a physical milestone and a sign of becoming a woman. But it can also be confusing, particularly if she encounters certain problems like irregular periods or premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

Common Menstrual Problems
Most issues teens confront when they start menstruating are completely normal. In fact, many girls and women have had to deal with one or more of them at one time or another:

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
PMS includes both physical and emotional symptoms that many girls and women get right before their periods, such as:

acne
bloating
fatigue
backaches
sore breasts
headaches
constipation
diarrhea
food cravings
depression or feeling blue
irritability
difficulty concentrating
difficulty handling stress
Different girls may have some or all of these symptoms in varying combinations. PMS is usually at its worst during the 7 days before the period starts and disappears once it begins. But girls usually don't develop symptoms associated with PMS until several years after menstruation starts - if ever.

Although the exact cause of PMS is unknown, it seems to occur because of changing hormone levels. During the second half of the menstrual cycle, the amount of progesterone in the body increases. Then, about 7 days before the period starts and right around when PMS occurs, levels of both progesterone and estrogen drop.

My experience with periods was similar to yours. I had large clots and headaches while I was young. Nothing seemed to help. One doctor suggested surgery, another suggested it was fibroids and another thought it was just my body's way of dealing with being a woman. I endured the headaches and learned that some foods and lack of sleep caused most of my headache problems as I was a single mom working full time at an job and didn't have the time to rest that I needed. My daughter has some of the same symptoms. I can only suggest that rest and freedom from stress as much as possible and keep checking at your yearly exams that all is OK. Perhaps some one will come up with other examples of their situations.

Hai, even if you were in emotional variations I should say that 4 periods in 6 week is not normal.your explanation highlight me a complete abortion.if you are sure that you were not pregnant you should consult a doctor. breast tenderness usually resolves by the time of periods.i suggest you to visit your GP.

Answer 4

do you have a gynocological condition that would cause this to happen? Several conditions could result in abnormal periods. Your description sounds like uterine fibroids, the article below is what I found on the subject. The best advice would be to see your gynacologist to see what is going on, if for nothing more than your peace of mind.

Answer 5

Uterine fibroids are usually not dangerous, but can cause immense discomfort and lead to complications like anemia from heavy blood loss. In rare cases, they may cause complications that affect pregnancy.

In cases where there are no symptoms, treatment may not be necessary. However, proper diagnosis and treatment may be required if your symptoms are severe or causing complications. Along with conventional treatment, you can try some natural home remedies. Read here https://tr.im/pRtEB

Answer 6

Go along to your doctor, and get a referral to gynae out patients, who will do a scan. It could be one of several things, but the answer's to be found from a proper examination, not at Yahoo.

Answer 7

Maybe myomas or endometriosis (don't know if that's the correct spelling) on your womb or ovaries. You should get checked by a gynaecologist.
