What Does Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Suggest?
Hi I have had my period for about 6 weeks now, and within the last week I have had a very heavy flow resulting in my having to change a super plus tampon every hour as well as wear a pad. I have never had this before. I have a MD appt this week, worried I may be losing too much blood. This is starting to affect me being able to work my shifts as a nurse. What could be the probable cause, do you think I have a serious medical problem?

Hi,
Heavy flow may be caused by stress, hormonal imbalance, and organic lesions at the uterus. Thus, first you should do an U/S of the pelvis and hormonal level.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
