Answer 1

Irregular periods: Irregular periods are one of the most common problems obgyns treat. If this is one time problem it usually resolves on its own. If this is a recurring problem you should be evaluated. Infections ; hormonal changes can cause spotting. If there is a concern for pregnancy then do a home pregnancy test . There are many options available to help regulate the menstrual cycle. Schedule a visit.

Answer 2

Fibroids/polyps?: If you see a doctor for heavy periods, they will want to make sure that you don't have any fibroids (usually benign tumors of the uterus) or polyps (growths of tissue from the uterine lining). If you have always had heavy periods, you may want to make sure you don't have a bleeding problem in general. Sometimes there is no definite cause and treatments to make periods lighter can help.

Answer 3

Uncertain: If you consistently have excessive menstrual bleeding, this warrants a medical evaluation.

Answer 4

Talk with your doc: You're right to be concerned. This is too much too often. It could be hormones (female, thyroid) or infection. Your doc can help you figure this out. Be well.

Answer 5

Low estrogen: Usually not enough estrogen early in cycle, this could be your birth control or a weight issue. Polyps are a possibility as well.

Answer 6

Get seen: If this persists, only a gynecologist can make the diagnosis. Although "dysfunctional uterine bleeding" is often caused by glitches in the complex interplay of hormones, it is very important that this not be ignored because of the possibility of cancer. A polyp or a fibroids under the lining of the womb are two of several other possible causes.

GYN: irregular menstrual bleeding can be from multiple causes: see your GYN for a definitive exam. Have you had protected sex? Could you be pregnant? Last cycle?-I suggest you see a GYN this week.
