What do I do?
Question:
Hi guys, I was diagnosed with endo a year ago when I had some endo tissue removed, as well as a polyp in my uterus. A couple years ago I had an ovarian cyst, background to this. When I moved away from home I gained about 70 pounds and my periods stopped for 4 months, I then began heavily bleeding, I was diagnosed with a cyst and had a lap to remove it. Last year was different, I skipped periods but instead of the bleeding I had bad pelvic pain, was on Vicadin for months then. Now the same old thing is happening like with the cyst. I moved to another city and stopped exercising, so my periods stopped, I skipped 3 periods and have been heavily bleeding the past month. My gyn in the other city prescribed me Provera for 10 days (I can’t go see a new endo specialist until next month-hubby’s new employer insurance doesn’t start until March 1st). Well today was my last day for the Provera, I woke up at 5am with heavy bleeding, took the last one and now it’s light. I’m having sharp pains with the Provera. I’m very worried that since that was the last one, I’m going to bleed until I get in next month. I called my old gyn again and they are trying to figure out if I should go to the ER or get more Provera, I should be getting a call back soon. Any advice? I feel so weak right now, and of course I can’t have much of a social life with all of the heavy bleeding. :’( Jennifer

Might be polyps again as well as endo. IF your pain is real bad you might go ahead and go to the ER. They can give you strong meds to counter act the pain. MY gyn has me go to the ER if i am soaking a pad per hour. Bonner

Hi Bonner, Do polyps cause that continual bleeding? The pain isn’t really that bad, not like last time. The bleeding is a little light tonight. I talked to my doctor’s nurse and she said it should be normal to bleed another 7-10 days, but not after that. I’m not sure I understand that it should be normal. Only 2 nights this month did I soak pads in about 10-15 minutes, that’s when I went to the ER. Jennifer

My blood count last week was normal at the ER, surprisingly. Unfortunately we just moved here, so my husband’s new employer insurance doesn’t start until March, so I have an appt set with an endo specialist next month. :) Jennifer
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Jennifer, Yes polyps can cause bleeding. MY GYN calls it hemorrhaging when you bleed and soak a pad every 10-15 minutes. He in the past has told me to go to the ER for this kind of bleeding. You can bleed to death he said. Some women bleed longer then7-10 days. IF you continue talk to your doctor. Your hematitcrit SP could be low as well as your Iron count. Polyps can just start bleeding at any given time. Like a tare in the polyp. Polyps in the colon can also bleed it basically the same thing only in the uterus or the side walls. Hi Bonner, Do polyps cause that continual bleeding?

Are you dealing with something like acne and hair growth? It could be possible that you are also dealing with PCOS (poly-cystic ovary syndrome). I’m not a medical expert adn I’m not diagnosing you but I do believe that skipping periods and having weight gain like that could be symptoms of PCOS. There is a support group for pcos like there is for endo….alt.support.pcos I’m sure they could give you more information. I don’t know about polyps….I know my mom went through some wretched stuff with fibroid tumors and such before her hysterectomy.

I’ve always had small acne problems, but nothing with hair growth. I will check out that newsgroup, thanks
