What Causes Severe Abdominal Pain And Heavy Bleeding During Periods?

I have had the worst periods for the last 6 months and I don t know anything that has changed in my lifestyle. I wake up with the worst stabbing pains and I can hardly walk. I am vomiting with the room spinning and have a head ache for a least the first 3 days of my period. Whilst on my period I am bleeding a lot changing my tampons every hour.Between periods I have a stabbing pain randomly maybe twice a day and get an aching in my back.Please please please help me! I m getting desperate as I can t work for the first 3 days and my boss is getting slightly annoyed by it.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe abdominal pain and heavy bleeding during periods . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like food poisoning , food allergy , infection of digestive system , gas , acid reflux , stomach flu or colic .An ultrasound may be a good idea to make sure that there are no underlying causes.Stress can cause abnormal vaginal bleeding so this may be the cause if you are experiencing physical or emotional stress. Other causes like thyroid problem can also resposible for heavy bleeding , so consult gynecologist for proper checkup. You should avoid solid foods for a few hours try small amounts of mild foods such as rice, applesauce and do not take foods or drinks caffeine , carbonated beverages , citrus and dairy products. If condition doesn't get better then also consult gastroenterologist for proper examination and get complete examination done. Doctor may prescribe antiemetic drug , antibiotics ,anaspas and antacid .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
