HELP! Long and heavy periods.?

Question:

My period is very heavy with large blood clots and also my period lasts 7 to 8 days, I get so tired of it, it wears me out. I go through at least 1 1/2 boxes of tampons and a pack of pads which I have to wear at the same time, because if I don't my tampon will be so full I will bleed all over my panties within no time. Help me please.

Answers:
Well I have a couple of concerns..I work with women with this problem everyday.First the heavy bleeding..and how many pads and such you are using..have you been diagnosed with fibroids?..also you are saying that you are tired..which makes me think you may be anemic..both are concerning..you need to see a doctor ASAP or maybe a ER..I have seen women with critical anemia's from heavy menstrual periods..and if you are not anemic then at least find out why you are having such horrible heavy periods.there are so many treatments today that can help you..there is no need to suffer anymore..good luck..

I would consider birth control. It made my periods a lot lighter and now I know exactly when I will start. Talk to your doctor about it.

Some people have naturally heavy periods. But being this heavy seems a bit odd. You should get it checked by a doctor. Maybe it's normal for you.

us aluminum foil. it wont go through that

Have you tried birth control? That really helped my periods. They use to last 7days now its is like 4 or 5 and it is really no big deal. NO cramps really and it is really lite.

Go and see a OB/GYN Dr. Maybe you have a problem that needs correcting. I can understand that amount of blood loss is going to tire a person out. When you are passing clots like you say it is better to be checked out.

really you should see your doctor. Long period can depend on a person or a number of medical reasons. You can regulate your periode by takeing birth control pills for example also the clots would sugest dried blood in your period you should use a doush to clean your self out to be safe. Hope this helps

You don't say how old you are.but the same thing was happening to me. I use to have normal periods all my life only lasted 2 to 3 days very light.Then I turned 40.it seemed to me Menopause. The doctors told me I was too young. Well here I have gone 11 months without a period. After 5 years of the exact same symptoms you describe.

You can star with buying by herbalist ''White deadnettle''(Lamium Album),you know that one burns when touch it and drink DURING the day 2 couples of prepared : one full thee spoon of herb in coup and than 1/4 boiled water on top of it .wait 2-3 min. and drink slowly sip by sip you need to drink 2 of them in hole day ..so slowly

8 days before the period the same preparation but with ''Shepherd's purse''(Capsella bursa-pastoris) .so repeat the same

Very good is a mix of(start having effects usually after 3 weeks):

25gr. of Mountain Arnica ''Arnica montana L.''
50gr. of Garden Valerian ''Valeriana officinalis L.''
25gr. of Island cetraria lichen ''Cetraria islandica L. Ach''
25gr. of Common balm ''Melissa officinalis L. ''
25gr. of Common yarrow ''Achillea millefolium L. ''
25gr. of Kitchen Sage ''Salvia officinalis L. ''

And must be good mixed
The same preparation like others
