Prolonged Periods and Fibroid

[sarahkhan]

i have been diagnosed with fibroid and doctor put me on waiting list for hysteroscopy. My symptoms are getting worse now. Last month my periods was 25 days long then i had 2 weeks off then again stared periods and not stopping. I actually have heavy bleeding than usual.

At first, doctor prescribed me mefenamic acid but it doesn’t work then prescribed me tranexamix acid and it doesn’t work as well and now prescribed me Norethisterone 5 mg thrice a day to stop the bleeding.

But this mini pill is not working properly because i still have dark brown discharge.

Doctor always said that it’s normal and just wait for it to go away but I’m literally fedup now because unable to survive more!

No idea whats going on with me. Really drained now and need some help n guidance

Hi there I'm in a very similar situation. I have about a week with no bleeding per month and My Haemaglobin has significantly dropped so started on Iron.

Unable to have a Smear each time I go there is too much blood so they rebook and I tell them there is always bleeding it never stops.

Started on this norethisterone and for a few days bleeding stopped but today smear is due and I'm bleeding again heavy so they can't do the smear.

I'm so drained and tired by it all.

I want a hysterectomy now as I can't live like this much longer.

Oh dear! I understand very well as I’m in smilier situation and my surgery is due next month and cannot wait much. This took me at least 8-9 months and last night i was in ER also because of heavy blood flow. Just waiting and frustrating much and tired of this. ☹️
