I've always had normal periods. but after my second baby i now get heavy periods lasting a week then start all over again a couple days later. help?

Need to see Obgyn: Heavy periods is a very common problem and your gynecologist will be able to help. There are lots of possible causes and treatment options. A pelvic exam and sonogram would a good start as well as testing for anemia and thyroid disease.

Get eval & choices: Abnormal periods need evaluation; sonogram, lab tests. Non-surgical options include: birth control pills. Lysteda (non-hormonal rx taken during period), Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud. Minimally invasive options: endometrial ablation (in-office), hysteroscopy polyp removal or fibroid resection; and only if these treatments fail then consider hysterectomy - vaginal or laparoscopic if possible.
