A member asked:
I've recently been experiencing way heavier periods. also two days after starting, it's too painful to insert a tampon. what could this be due to?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several things: Heavy periods and pain upon insertion of a tampon can be due to cysts, fibroids, endometriosis, or infections. You need to be seen for a full history, exam, and appropriate testing to know for sure what is going on so that it can be appropriately treated. Hope this helps.
