My mom has been having really bad stomach pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. Her hemoglobin is low at 7.8 gm, and the sonography showed a bulky uterus. What could be causing these symptoms? Can this be treated with medication or does she need surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Your mom's symptoms, including heavy bleeding, low hemoglobin, and a bulky uterus, suggest conditions like fibroids or adenomyosis. These can often cause anemia and severe pain. Initial treatment may include medications to control bleeding and raise hemoglobin, but surgery like hysterectomy might be needed if symptoms persist or worsen. A gynecologist should evaluate her further.

I'm a bit worried because I haven't gotten my period this month. Today is the 35th day and my cycle is usually 28 days. Last week I had cramps like I usually do when it's about to start, but no blood came, just a heavy discharge. Can you help me understand what's going on?
