Re: BLEEDING HEAVIER THAN EVER. . .PLEASE HELP- DISCOURAGEDFrom: karen (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 6 Jul 2000 23:25:29 -0500 (CDT)
Leigh, I'm still new to all this and don't even know yet if PCOS is what I have, (I do have an appt. next week to talk to my doctor) but I found myself bleeding for 8 months non stop. Granted at times it was just spotting, but then the next day it would be HEAVY, with huge clots. This went on till I was anemic and had a low blood count. I had gotten weak, tired and ached everywhere. All of that I attribute to the blood loss, and the rapid rate I was losing it, especially towards the end. I ended up with a hysterectomy 8 weeks ago and one of the diagnosis was endrometrial hyperplasia, a precancerous condition. Even though I was shedding the lining of the uterus, it was still very thick. I know this might be scary to you, but it is a very real situation and should the bleeding continue, you will need to have it checked out. As it turns out, from the pathology report of my ovaries, they were polycystic which is what has led me on this search to see if I do have PCOS. I have many of the symptoms, and it seems this might have been my problem for the last 15 years when I just knew something wasn't right. I know how difficult it is to diet, Lord knows I've tried over and over. But if the studies are right from what I've read, the biggest part of getting this under control is by a low carb diet. Maybe it seems the diet is working the opposite right now, but could it be your body trying to adjust and get your hormones in working order? There are lots of people you can go to for support, mostly right here. But don't give up.
