Heavy menses ?'s: Heavy menstrual bleeding with very painful cramping needs evaluation by a gyn physician. There are several potential causes which need to be ascertained, but ask your gyn about oral low dose contraceptives , which will allow for regular "periods" and decrease heavy bleeding and cramps.
