What Causes Heavy Menstrual Bleeding With Clots And Abdominal Cramps?

I Started my period about 2 weeks ago and it was really heavy. after my period was suppose to end I started spotting everyday and two days ago I started my period again and I m cramping really badly. I m afraid of getting blood clots because I have had a blood clot before. wasn t sure if I could get them still when my periods start. When I have my periods and they are heay and very painful I have clumps come out. I m 46 years old and was wondering if I m starting to go through menopause. I was put through a fake menopause 16-17 years ago because I was in so much pain and come to find out that I had endometriosis. what do I do?

Hi.
I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.

Your symptoms may be due to the hormonal changes in the body as you are nearing your menopausal stage or due to endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroid etc.
I advice you to,
1. Take antispasmodics 
2. Nutritious diet with proteins
3. Weight bearing exercises
4. Vitamin & calcium supplements.
5. Do USG, PAP smear & breast examination if the symptoms troubles much
6.  Consult a gynaecologist for further assistance.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
