I am a 22yr old/ women. Problem:
I have been bleeding for six months now.
In a month I will bleed lite 2 wks and EXTREMLEY heavy 1wk.
Everybody says to go to the doctor. Problem is that I am a virgin and I am very uncomfortable with someone pooking me and stuff down there. So I have been just living with it.
I know, I need to see a dr. and when I get over it I will. But does anyone know what could be going on with me.
I cramp everyday of the month, I sweat more, I gained weight, I sleep more, I'm always irritated, and my face is never clear anymore.
Anybody got anything???

I started to have similar problems when I was around your age (I'm 35 and still a virgin) and it turned out to be a hormone imbalance.
I know it can be an uncomfortable thought to have a doctor see inside but I would recommend seeing a female physician for this not only because of first time visit, but I think you would feel more comfortable talking to a female physician about this issue.
My hormone imbalance was diagnosed as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.

just go the doctor-gynecologist.its embarassing but there is nothing a painful as realising you can't have children because something wasn't caught on time.
my friend had a similar case-but not for that long-she bled contiously for a month----after 4wks she finally got the courage to tell her mum-they did surgery on her-she had a tumor or something-----.
u need to stop,look at the big picture and just do it......!u may just save your life.
don't u feel very self uncomfortable???

If you're going to see a doctor, you really don't need our opinions.
Look, GYN exams aren't fun for any woman, virgin or not. You're an adult. Stop procrastinating and see a doctor. You can find female doctors or nurse practitioners, if you'd be more comfortable with that.

don't take it from me but maybe you just experience irregular menstrual cycles. a doctor could prescribe you with birth control pills to help regulate it. seriously though, go see a doctor.
