What Causes Prolonged Menstrual Bleeding Along With Abdominal Cramps?
I m 20 yo female I ve been on my period since Sep 24 so it s been 10 days and by the looks of it still counting my period last 4 to 5 days and I m not irregular. My period is extremely light hardly any blood discharge it s a pinkish light red until today it got darker like my usual period the amount was also what I would usually expect. I didn t experience any cramps until today but it was a sudden cramp so far I haven experienced any pain. I m sexually active I m not on any kind of birth control my husband and I don t care for it since it s not an issue if I would get pregnant we are also not trying to conceive but don t want to prevent it either. I m not taking any medications.
Hello dear I understand your concern Your symptoms could be due to hormonal imbalance/dysfunctional uterine bleeding, ovarian cyst, ectopic pregnancy, endometriosis, fibroid/adenomyosis, endometrial hyperplasia. I would suggest to consult the gynecologist and undergo proper investigations like reproductive hormone analysis, USG scan, endometrial biopsy and ovarian follicle study. Specific treatment will depend on the cause of the treatment. Progesterone pill and tranexaemic acid will help to stop the prolonged bleeding. Hope this may help you
