Period for 5 weeks..Non Stop

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hello there Everyone,

I have a personal problem..I have been bleeding for 5 weeks on what my doctor said was "A normal period".

The thing is, I have an "Implant" in, so stopped having periods 18 months ago, and this one came on quite suddenly. I also have piles so have been bleeding from my back enterance- Bearing in mind, I am only 20, this worried me, as it has became painful to pass, and the blood is quite frequent (nearly everytime I pass).

My blood pressure has fallen quite a lot (Last reading was 99/74, usually it is 120ish) and my pulse is high (in the 100's).

I am in a panic as the doctors seem to think I am worring about nothing, though I feel myself getting weak and suffering from fatigue. I am difficult to rouse and usually full of beans. And I have stomach cramps as well, quite badly.

The only "advise" was eat more iron for the loss of blood, and more fibre for the bowel movement..No examination at all!:banghead:

Can you guys give me advise/Questions to ask the doctor?
