What Causes Blood Clots In Menstrual Bleeding And Severe Fatigue?
Question: This months period was incredibly concerning. Lasted 14 days - extremely heavy clotting and tissue, went through 3 boxes of super plus tampons, one day was like an entire cycle (normal blood loss)... Extremely fatigued and zero energy
Brief Answer:
Ultrasound scan required
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concerns about excessive bleeding.
Following is my reply:
1) Such heavy bleeding could possibly be due to lesions like fibroid or polyp or increased endometrial thickness in uterus.
2) Thyroid levels alone are unlikely to cause such a gross bleeding. Your uterus needs to be evaluated.
3) Please get ultrasound scan done to identify if above problems exist in your uterus so that can be treated.
4) If problem is not identified by ultrasound scan, this problem is likely to repeat.
Let me know if you need anymore help.
Regards
