What Causes Spotting Before Periods, Heavy Bleeding And Dizziness?

I have been spotting for over 2 weeks now and just started my normal period today. It s abnormally heavy already and I ve been very light headed and dizzy. Should I be worried? I am on a birth control, but it clearly hasn t been working or isn t the right one for me. I also have always had symptoms of endometriosis and should talk to my gyno about that. I m planning on calling tomorrow, but just wanting to make sure I shouldn t take any action this evening. Feeling so light headed, dizzy, and bleeding so much is worrying me a bit. Thanks!

Hi,

Your symptoms may be due to the hormonal imbalance caused by the pills or due to endometriosis. In such case, You have to assess the flow of blood by counting the no. of pads your are changing per day. If it's more than normal, you need consult a gynecologist for further assistance.

I suggest you to take:
-Tab. Tranex + antispasmodics
- Take plenty of fluids
- USG pelvis to assess the status of endometriosis

Get well soon. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya Vasudevan, General & Family Physician
