Is bleeding through six or more "super" tampons in one day normal for heavy periods?
Thank you for the question and thank you for being so forthcoming in your history. In short, no this is definately not normal. There can be some variation in the amount and duration of bleeding a woman experiences during her cycle, but this is outside of that normal range. The anemia is almost certainly a consequence of the bleeding, but is unlikely to be making it worse unless it is so severe that it is compromising your body's ability to form clots. You definately should see a gynecologist for an evaluation. An initial workup should include the following: A complete physical exam including a pelvic exam A Pelvic Ultrasound (transvaginal if possible) Some basic labwork Your team should then discuss the nonhormonal medical options for care as well as surgical options. I hope that this is helpful. READ MORE
