Back Pain, Heavy Bleeding, Young To Menopause. Suggestion?
About 2 weeks ago I had a tremendous backache. Lower back pain leading into my legs. On Monday Sept. 23, I started my period and I bled so heavy that every 2 hours or more (including at night) I bled through 2 pads. During Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, I was passing clots that were about the size of ping pongs. I thought yesterday things had slowed down, but today again I was bleeding so much that I went through a pad and my jeans. I have been dropping smaller clots today...about the size of peas. I am 46 years old and have been told I am too young for menopause, but can you tell me when this much bleeding is too much. I feel a quart low!!
