What Could Be The Reason For Having Heavy And Painful Periods?
Hi there. I am concerned about what has been happening lately. In the past two months I have literally had $ periods, & am currently on it now. I was only off my period for about 2 days before I started again. In between each period I was still only off for about a day or two. My periods are heavy & painful. I don t know what the reason for this is. & I am hoping you can help me.

Hello,
Heavy and painful periods can occur due to several reasons including any anatomical pathologies like fibroid, hormonal imbalances, etc.
A detailed physical evaluation and laboratory investigations are required at this point. So please follow up with your ObGyn.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
