Heavy, painful periods - HELP!

Women's health

Hi,

I'm 27, no children and currently not using any contraception. Every month when I come on my period it is that heavy I have to use a towel and tampax and change every two hours otherwise it leaks right through my clothes. There is also really bad and painful clotting. This has started to affect my daily life as I am unable to work on the first two days of my period. I'm in such horrible pain, can barely walk and bleeding right through my clothes every few hours. I've been to the doctors and they have done some tests and have said everything is fine. The contraceptive pill doesn't help either, as I've tried that and I don't like the thought of a coil. Have any of you had any similar problems and can recommend something to help me? Thanks in advance.

Yes I had that a few years back it's awful. What tests did you have ? You may have uterine fibroids that's what I had. I had to have mine removed. I still have heavy periods but nothing like before. I now take lysteda it really helps to slow down the flow.

Hi Tricia, thank you so much for taking time to reply, I really appreciate it. The hospital tested me for emniditriosis as my mother and sister had it but they said I was fine. They also checked the lining of my womb and ran some blood tests and said everything looked normal. I am going to go back to the doctors on Monday so will mention your comment and see if they think that will also help me. Once again, thank you for replying.
