They are paralyzing and hurt all the way through my back. The pain is also making me nauseaus. Should I try to get into see my dr. today? What could be the cause of this?
Hello
Thank you for your query.
Heavy periods with cramps could be due to a variety of reasons.
You could have had an early which miscarried.
Stress, anxiety, rapid changes in weight, hormonal medications, thyroid disorder and polycystic ovaries might cause heavy periods.
Endometrial hyperplasia ( thickening of the lining of the uterus ) or fibroids in the uterus could also cause such problems, as do blood thinners.
Yes, you do need to see a gynecologist at the earliest to know the exact cause.
Take care.
