Unusual Heavy Bleeding Along With Big Clots During Cycle, Tubes Tied Earlier. Why Is It Happening?

For about the last year I have been having unusually heavy bleeding with my cycle. I would go through 3 tampons in an hour. Tonight I was taking a shower and a blood clot the size of the shower drain cover came out then one about half that size. My tubes have been tied for 15.5 yrs now. Only been having this problem for the last year. Any advice what it could be?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Your tube tied 15 years ago ,so don't bother about that.
As your age is approximately more than 37 years so chances of dysfunctional uterine is there.
As this heavy bleeding occurs after 15 years of sterilization ,so need not to worry ,at present for the first time.
If even 2nd or 3 rd time of menses heavy bleeding occurs then please consult a GYnaecologist and get his opinion .
Ultrasound of abdomen along ovaries and genitals is very important as well physical examination by Gynaecologist will find out the exact cause of heavy bleeding.
Good luck.
