Patient's Query

Hello doctor.

I have been bleeding for ten months now. Previously I had a hemorrhage for four months, had about two weeks off, and then started bleeding again. The bleeding is heavy and clot-filled, quickly filling both a 10-hour tampon and pad at the same time. The first doctor I saw, found nothing wrong with me. The second doctor I visited did a series of ultrasounds and identified a little cyst on my right ovary, but he said it was not the source of the bleeding. She then did a D and C and hysteroscopy on me, stating that she had cleaned me out and that there was a lot of blood. It has just been a month, but the bleeding has not stopped, so she sent me for another ultrasound. They observed that the cyst had grown and was encroaching on the right ovary and that the uterine lining had thickened once again. My family insists on a second opinion, even though my husband and I are convinced that this is the greatest decision for us. What are your opinions on this? I have been bleeding heavily and uncontrollably since early last year and have been consistent since the last month. I use the tablet Omeprazole (proton pump inhibitor) for reflux. Tablet Butrin and tablet Zoloft are antidepressant medications. My doctor also suggested that I should take iron supplements to treat the anemia caused by all of the bleeding.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You can wait if you have been married for one year and desire a kid. And, sure, it is an important decision. It is also true that we are occasionally advised to remove the uterus at a young age. However, get a second opinion from a reputable gynecologist. Perform any hormone testing and other tests as directed by your doctor. If the reason for your prolonged bleeding is discovered, you may be treated. If the bleeding continues, doctors might use injections to stop it. You can use hormonal contraception tablets once a month. And the following cycle will have less bleeding. So do not rush into making a decision. If your hemoglobin level is normal and you do not require a blood transfusion, your bleeding will be light. There are numerous topics to debate, as well as other possibilities. So, get a second opinion from an experienced gynecologist.

Thank you.
