Hysteroscopy test for unusually heavy bleeding and uterine fibroids. Very severe.

Hi Keonadunn, fibroids usually grow on the outside of the womb and can be seen by a scan. a hysteroscope will look inside at the lining of your womb and anything abnormal in there like polyps.. what have you tried already for your pain and heavy bleeds?

Just midol, ibuprofen and different pain killer every month. I pass very large clots and usually have to use 2 superplus abs tampons at once with an overnight pad. And sometimes it will bleed thru within 2 hrs.

How old are you hun? I used to be like this when I was in my teens and twenties, my body felt like it wanted to expel a full period in hours! Have you had a family yet? is Your family now complete? lots of things you can do before going for surgery really that is a last resort
