What Causes Excessive Menstrual Bleeding?

I am a 48 female who is experiencing severe menstrual bleeding, large amounts of blood clots and a fever. Spotting started on the 11th of this month and continued until 27th when regular bleeding started. then Friday the 30th a fever started in the afternoon and heavy bleeding set in and large blood clots. Tampon usage has been one every hour and when remove a rush of blood and clot follows. As of today Monday the 2n the fever has lowered, the clotting has lessoned; however the bleeding is still flowing and cramping still present.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Your symptoms could be due to pelvic inflammatory disorder, fibroid/adenomyosis, endometrial dysplasia, hormonal imbalance, and systemic infection. I would suggest to consult gynecologist and undergo vaginal examination, routine blood tests, reproductive hormone analysis, USG scan and endometrial biopsy to confirm cause. Specific treatment will depend on cause.

Progesterone pill and Tranexamic will help to reduce bleeding. Take paracetamol for fever. Maintain proper pelvic hygiene, eat healthy diet with iron supplements.

Hope this may help you. Contact further if follow up needed.

Best regards,
Dr. Sagar
