Answer 1

Do you live in a large metropolitan area? Because if the doctors couldn't figure it out, they should refer you to someone who can figure it out. It's definitely not normal, especially because you're so young. Please seek out the opinion of another gynecologist. Get the records from the 1st two doctors and bring them to the next doctor. If you live in a large city, it shouldn't be too hard to find another doctor. If you're in the country, it may well be worth it to ask for referrals in the closest city. Good luck!

My cousin has the exact same thing. From the day that she got her period for the first time, she has bled every single day all the time. Sometimes its heavy and sometimes light, but she always bleeds. She has been to numerous doctors who have had absolutely no clue what she has. The doctor she sees now has put her on not only the birth control shot, but also has her take 5 different types of birth control pills a day to lessen the bleeding. It has helped some with the heaviness of her bleeding, because before the medications she had been hospitalized twice. Both times she had to have blood transfusions. The doctors have all told her that she really needs to have a hysterectomy and she's only 21. She really wants children someday so she sacrifices by taking all of the different birth controls. I really don't know how to comfort you, except to tell you that you are not alone and that you should really find a good doctor to help you in any way possible.

You must see a doctor,,something is not right.Go to a free clininc if you have to. Or go to ER & tell them that you need a doctor & send the bills to Medicaid if you are in the USA.Every woman needs a gyn doctor.You are or will become anemic loosing so much blood.You probably also have an iron dificiency now so I recommend taking a vitamin such as one-a-day brand with iron.This will not cure the problem so get to the doctor.Its easy,,just make an appointment.This could also be uterine fybroid tumors that can be easily lazored away but if you wait & it grows huge then it will require surgery such as a hysterectomy.Or it may be something else.Do not hesitate any longer.Now,,go make that call or step into a place that can help you.Good luck.

Either one of those doctors should have done a series to tests to try to determine the cause...sometimes a simple blood test can get results. Those two were MORONS.

Go to a GYNECOLOGIST. They specialize in female reproductive health, so they're more likely to help out.

I have the same problem; I usually have only about 10 bleed-free days per month, if I'm lucky. I am on birth control pills to help control my irregularity. Sometimes that's just the way things are.
You can either use hormonal birth control or live with contestant periods - the choice is yours.
But see a gynecologist and have all of your options addressed in the mean time.

Answer 5

This can happen to women, and the best thing to do is see a respected OB/GYN and get treated. The most common treatment is birth control pills.

This is a serious condition for several reasons. First, the constant blood loss can make you become anemic. Second, it means that you will be unable to conceive until your body straightens itself out.

You may need to be referred to a specialist for this, since it involves a hormone imbalance. But the easist thing to do if your OB/GYN can't diagnose it is ask to be put on the pill.

Answer 6

You're right, it's not good for you at all... go to a gynaecologist and have it checked out. Regular GP doctors can help, but I think a gyno would be able to tell you more...

It's almost like your body doesn't know how to stop it??? There is a new operation out now where they line the uterus which slows the bleeding process down, and you'll only be on for 3-4 days...

GOOD LUCK, not sure if i've helped much!!

Answer 7

yes i have had the same problem since i was 12 im now 18. i would get it for like 2 months HEAVY and i was losing so much blood it was unreal. So i went to alot of doctors to anyways are you on birth control? thats what they put me on at 12!! because it was so bad and it really really helps regulate them! also tell the doctor how much blood your losing and ask him for some iron pills you need them so you dont become enemic. plzzzz do this i was in the same situation so i feel for you trust me!!! now im not on birth control and it still happens sometimes! good luck!

Answer 8

did you go to an OB...? Your doctors sound like hacks!!! Get to a real doctor, you could be becoming anemic. There are a host of reasons...from hormones to fibroids.

Menometrorrhagia is the term to search for if you want to look around on the net

good luck

Answer 9

I think you may want to go on birth controlls, this way you can regulate when you want to get your period and when you want it to stop. Talk to another gynecologist about this problem and don't wait any longer, because all that blood loss can result in anemia, among other health complications.

Answer 10

You need to go to a doctor that has an answer for you. If the doctors you do see can't answer it or stop it you need to find another doctor.
