The most frequent cause of menorrhagia is an imbalance between the amounts of estrogen and progesterone in the body. Because of this imbalance, the endometrium (pronounced: en-doh-mee-tree-um, the lining of the uterus) keeps building up. Then when the body gets rid of the endometrium during a period, the bleeding is very heavy.
ReplyDeleteheavy bleeding may be caused by thyroid conditions, blood diseases, or inflammation or infections in the vagina or cervix. To help figure out the cause of abnormal bleeding, a doctor can do a pelvic exam, a Pap smear, and blood tests. If you do have menorrhagia, it can be treated with hormones, medicine, or removal of any growths in the uterus that may be the cause of excessive bleeding.

Extremely Painful Periods
Dysmenorrhea (pronounced: dis-men-uh-ree-uh) is the medical term for very painful periods. Primary dysmenorrhea — painful periods that are not caused by a disease or other condition — is more common in teens than secondary dysmenorrhea (painful periods caused by a disease or condition).
The culprit in primary dysmenorrhea is prostaglandin, the same naturally occurring chemical that causes cramps. In large amounts, prostaglandin can cause nausea, vomiting, headaches, backaches, diarrhea, and severe cramps when you have your period. Fortunately, these symptoms usually only last for a day or two. Doctors usually prescribe anti-inflammatory medicines to treat primary dysmenorrhea. As with cramps, exercise, hot water bottles, and birth control pills might also bring some relief.
Some of the more common conditions that can cause secondary dysmenorrhea include:
* endometriosis, a condition in which tissue normally found only in the uterus starts to grow outside the uterus
* pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), a type of bacterial infection
* fibroids or growths on the inside wall of the uterus
All of these conditions require that a doctor diagnose the problem and then treat you appropriately.
What to Do if You Suspect a Problem
When you have questions about your period or anything else related to your development, talk to your doctor. This is particularly true if you notice a change in your menstrual cycle. Though most period problems turn out to be nothing to worry about, it's always good to be safe.
See your doctor if:
* You have not started your period by the time you are 16. This may indicate that you have a problem that requires medical attention.
* You stop getting your period or it becomes really irregular after it has been regular for a while (like 6 months or more). This can be a sign that you may have a hormone imbalance or a problem with nutrition, which can harm your body if left untreated.
* You have very heavy or long periods, especially if you have a short cycle and get your period frequently. In rare cases, lots of blood loss can cause anemia (iron deficiency) and leave you feeling really weak and tired.
Your periods are really painful. You might have endometriosis or benign growths that should be removed. Or if you're sexually active, you might have PID.Chances are that your painful or irregular periods are nothing to worry about. But if there is something going on, the quicker you get it taken care of, the sooner you'll be on your way to feeling great again.
Reiki can help a lot. It promotes both emotional and physical healing at the same time, stops the bleeding, helps wounds heal many times faster than usually, and introduces a state of relaxation for the patient.

This is from an imbalance of hormones. Are you too thin or too heavy? Do you exercise and eat well? Maybe you need to go to a gynecologist and get checked out. I know a doctor would recommend birth control pills with synthetic hormones. I would suggest bio identical progesterone cream to use two weeks after the first day of your period. Use two weeks and stop, then start again. See if that helps. Read about hormones and your menstrual cycle. There are many causes for your symptoms. Most aren't terrible or life threatening at all, but if it continues, please get checked to make sure it's not a cyst on your ovary or something like that. Stress, diet so many things can through your cycle off. You need to learn how to keep yourself "normal" for you.
