Yes, my symptoms were usually heavy bleeding, bleeding between periods, and pain in front on both sides (around hip bones). Mine lead to a tumor in my uterus weighing 5 pounds. Wasn’t treated for it, since I didn’t know what was going on due to the fact that the doctor I had at the time didn’t do a vaginal ultrasound! I have answered your questions before, my age is 38. Hope you get a better answer! Oh, I didn’t tell you before because I had forgotten, but I sometimes felt a pain from the belly button, felt like pulling on the inside… don’t know what that was….Good to ask alot of questions on this female stuff-you will be able to get help earlier and maybe avoid a hysterectomy and hopefully, be able to help others…that’s your job, right? Good luck!!!
OMG I had those I am 30 y/o and my symptoms were terrible, cramping, I mean cramping worse then having my kids. Then when Aunt Flow would come each month the first 2 days it was slow or regular, then on days 3-4 I would gush, literally a pad every hour and a half. Then the last 2-3 days would be normal again. On days 3-4 I would not be able to go anywhere just due to when I was active on those days I would soak through a pad in 1 hour, easy. If you think that you may have them, due to your periods being weird, which I don’t know why I didn’t give you this advise sooner, then wear a pad on your heavy days so that you can have a better idea of how heavy or light you are on certain days. I never had more than one period a month when I had mine and with me they put me on very strong birth control which made them go down in size and helped some, but after I got off the birth control, due to wanting to have another baby, my periods started to get a little heavy again, but I get pregnant very quick and only had 1 period from the time that I quit the pill and became pregnant. The pill that my Dr. put me on was the most hormone pill that he could and like I said it helped tremendously with both the cramping and the flow. Hope I was of some help.
My mom has had those ever since I can remember. She had terrible cramps, and sometimes massive hemorrhage. The doctors will probably do some ultrasounds, and other tests to determine what treatment is appropriate for you specifically.
My mom needed to have them removed through surgery, but she didn’t want to succumb to that… So she tried a homeopathic remedy that I couldn’t tell you exactly what it is, it’s available only in Romania as far as I know. It’s called Tatin, and it’s some kind of tincture from several herbs, and that shrunk them to the point that they don’t bother her at all anymore. So much for modern science. My mom is a total homeopathic person. Go figure. The guy that distributes the tincture swears by his cure. And it’s very legal. Her age was 64 when she did the cure. But I know for a fact that she must have struggled with it for more than 15 years.
