hi all, i need your help.
i'm a nursing student and have little experience in gyne nursing but my mother has a problem that i'm worried sick over!
my mother, aged 45+, has had vag bleeding for about 10 weeks now. the flow is ridiculas!! she's going through about 15+ maternity pads a day - several times she has gone and changed her pad and has had to do it again in 30mins because it's full and has started to leak down her leg!
the blood is bright red (oxygenated) and often contains clots (odd for her cycle) that range in size from 1/2" to 6"!
{thank goodness she has a lot of paid leave available to her!}
this is not a normal response to menopause (from what i've read - am i wrong?). i told her to go to a major metro hospital, which she did - 3 weeks ago, and they gave her medication and told to go home :angryfire .
she's tired, lathargic and not coping well with the lack of support or knowledge. i'm trying my best to assist her but i have no idea what else i can do?? (besides rest, suppluments (iron etc) and lots of love)
does any know how to help? where i can look for more info??
thanks
