Ive had uterine bleeding for 5 months, I dont want to think cancer, throw me some suggestions?

Abnormal uterine bleeding, heavy menstruation or menorrhagia is usually the result of a hormonal imbalance in adolescents during the years following the onset of menstruation, or in women who are approaching menopause.

Menstruation is often irregular or heavy during these times because, depending on hormonal levels, the ovaries may or may not release an egg. Another common cause of abnormal uterine bleeding is fibroid tumors.

Other causes of excessive bleeding that your doctor should consider include:

* Cervical or endometrial polyps
* Lupus
* Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
* Cervical cancer
* Endometrial cancer.

Women using intrauterine devices (IUDs) for birth control, may also experience excessive or prolonged periods. If you experience menorrhagia while using an IUD, the IUD should be removed and replaced with an alternative birth control method.

I would recommend consulting with your doctor/gynaecologist for further evaluation. They will need to run some tests in order to properly diagnose you with what could be the cause of this.

Good luck :)

go see a doctor. that is worrysome.

I had the same thing. It was off and on for about 2 years and I finally went to the doctor. Found out that a previous, well indowed, partner of mine had done a little damage that had not healed properly and was irritated with sex so it kept rupturing. He put a little gel type medication inside me and I haven't had a problem.

you might have calcium crystals in your kidneys =get it checked by the Dr.=All it is is an x-ray

It could be fibroid tumors... not life threatening, but they would need treatment ... could be that your cycle went out of whack and you just need a D&C or a few months on the pill.... whatever it is... GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!! Nothing is scarier than not knowing... at least once you know you will know how to handle it and get past it.... hope all is well soon

could be endometriosis
