Specializes in Pediatric Emergency Medicine

Period: You many be experiencing an imbalance of your hormones or a fibroid. Heavy bleeding may also cause anemia. See your doctor for an assessment and management. For any unusual bleeding a pregnant test and an US may be advised. You doctor will want to stop the bleeding and check other blood work. All the best.
