Question-: I think I’m going through the peri-menopause. I went to the Dr last week with really heavy periods (almost in tears which is most unlike me) and got perscribed Transemix (don’t think I’ve spelled it right) Acid Tablets.

This seems to have eased the blood flow a little but only after making it worse first.

I’ve also had a blood test.

My period has been going on for about 4 weeks and does not seem to stop. I am now getting really bad stomach pains.

In 2003 I was diagnosed with 2 3cm fibroids. Could this be the cause and what do you suggest I do?

Reply-: You are right to seek medical advice ..blood results should be back.  See your GP and ask for referral to a Consultant

re cause of bleeding.(should not be this heavy or prolonged).  Fibroids can cause heavy periods.
