Ladies & OB-gyne only... RE: period

[blankpixels]

---

matagal na irregular ang period ko.
there'll be months na wala akong period.
so parang acceptable na sakin yung isang buwan ako minsan magka-period.
pero dati, mga 2 weeks lang malakas then mahina na the rest of the month.
ngayon, 5+ weeks na akong me period and malakas sya.
as in i need to wear overnight napkins na talaga even sa umaga.

i'm thinking na this might be because of my weight.
i've gained about 30-50 pounds in the past 8 months.
it could also be because of stress.

i just need to know kung meron dito na pareho ng nangyayari sakin.
if you had yourself checked, ano sinabi ng doctor?
what kind of tests did you undergo?
me nagsabi sakin na kelangan ko daw ng ultrasound.

my nanay's a nurse pero i don't want to ask her about my situation kasi i don't want her worrying about me. she's in manila, i'm here in Cebu so ayoko lang sya mag-alala.

takot ako pa-checkup eh. medyo me phobia ako sa doctors hehehe.
kasi nakakatakot na me malaman akong di ko gusto. waah.

sis, dapat pa check up ka na before its too late mas madali mahibaw an mas maayo aron ma treat dayon kung naa may something wrong.

period for 5+ weeks and still you did not see a doctor? i can't believe someone would actually put up with something like that coz of unfounded fear (of doctors) and not wanting to bother someone (like your nanay). the best advice i can tell u is PLS GO SEE A DOCTOR ASAP! you maybe scared of being checked by a doctor but no one here in istorya can properly diagnose you. you're scared of seeing a doctor coz u don't want to know what the doc might tell u? well whatever it may be, its something you have to know whether you like it or not. so if you love your self and u want to live a normal healthy life then go see a doctor.

i'm disgusted when people are rude and talk like they know you.
i hate it when people talk to you like they KNOW and UNDERSTAND what's going on with you.

i didn't post here to get a diagnosis. i'm not stupid.
i was simply looking for someone who might have experienced the same thing and i want to know what they underwent with the doctor.
so you see, i simply wanted to know what i'll be going through if i do see a doctor.

unfounded fear? it's amazing how you would even think that my fear of doctors had no basis. funny, really. and i wouldn't even tell you exactly why i fear doctors and what happened that led to this since you've already concluded that it was UNFOUNDED.

did i say i don't want to bother someone? i said i don't want my nanay worrying about me. i didn't care to mention why 'cause i don't think it's even necessary. you see, if you DID know me, you'd understand completely why i don't want her to know about my situation.

i know that i need to see a doctor. if you read my post again, Khitty, see the question marks? those are just my questions that i needed an answer. i don't need someone judging me because of my post so you should've just kept that to yourself since you're not helping. i simply wanted to know WHAT TO EXPECT.

sheesh.

[Khitty]

oh my god why are u so irritated? don't post in forums if you only want to hear what you want to hear. nobody here is trying to judge you or imply that you are stupid so don't be so defensive. and yes your right, i can't help you coz i'm not a doctor.

read my post and yours again.

on second thought, never mind.

if you didn't get it the first time, well...

some people can be so narrow-minded, tactless and... never mind.

your symptoms point to endometrial thickening.

first thing the doctor would do is to get an ultrasound. most likely transvaginal ultrasound.

since you are bleeding a CBC will be taken to check if you have anemia already.
after the ultrasound result

the next step will be D&C with biopsy.
but before that pregnancy needs to be ruled out.

finally... helpful responses to my post.

@jluspoc:
i agree with you. mas okay nga na may kasama akong close friend. what i'm thinking is sa nanay ko na lang magpasama, pagbalik ko ng manila ako magpapacheckup. mas magiging comfortable ata ako if i know there's someone with me who can help me understand the results or the procedures. pero saka ko na lang sabihin sa kanya when i'm there na para di sya mag-worry ngayon na i'm far from her.

wala ako nararamdamang pain. mas madali lang ako mapagod ngayon. me times na parang ang init ng feeling ko. feeling ko high blood na rin kaya lumalakas ang period ko.

@cheaptech:
yun din nabasa ko na possible reason why i'm experiencing this.
yun nga daw, i need to undergo ultrasound, according to a friend who also experienced the same thing pero hers only lasted for 2 weeks.

about pregnancy, malabo yun hehehe. my partner can't get me pregnant kasi pareho kaming babae lolz.

do you know of any reputable ob-gyne here in cebu?

thanks for the replies pala.

Blankpixels, I went through the same thing. The most common cause of heavy, prolonged bleeding is PCOS. Esp since you said you gained a lot of weight, I'm suspecting you do have PCOS. When you go see a doctor, she will most probably prescribe a birth control pill for you to regulate the bleeding. Don't worry, it's not as bad as you think. I was in the same boat. I had that same problem for a long time and it took me 5 years to actually get a doctor's help. Now I go to my yearly pap smear and I go to all the required doctor's appointments that I have no matter how unpleasant they are for me. It must be done.
