Urgent... going through a pad an hour

[GoodStuffAnnie]

Can someone link to the thread with the lady that had the same.

No it was taken down for privacy concerns. If you are concerned then contact your gp.

You need to get medical advice asap.
Either GP, walk in or 111.

I’ve seen Gp. Not concerned.

I called 111 when this happened to me - the advised me to go to out of hours doctor. He was brilliant, tested my blood pressure to make sure I was ok, and gave me some tablets to slow down the bleeding.

You don't have to suffer in silence. Bleeding that heavily is not normal, take care

How old are you? My mum has this when she was going through menopause.
Another cause could be fibroids

Reading a thread from someone with a similar problem won't help. If I was you I'd call 111.

If this isn't usual for you then it is a concern. How long has is been happening? Have you got a walk in centre nearby that you can go to for a second opinion? Or a different GP at your practice?

You need to go back to your GP or ask to see a different one. They can give you tablets to ease blood flow, I have had the same.

Thanks all. Gushing but less now.

Only happens to me on the 3rd day and only in the evening. Only solution I found was to sit on the toilet as much as possible.
Calms down on day 5.
But then I am over 50.

It can be a sign of sepsis and should be checked

I used to have torrential bleeding in the run up to the menopause (going through a night-time pad in 15 minutes). You have my sympathies as it is totally debilitating while it is happening and can leave you very anaemic. I was (eventually) referred for a scan and found to have fibroids. Once they were removed, my periods were much more manageable. Thankfully I am now through the menopause and would happily keep the menopausal symptoms rather than go back to periods!

Can you ask for a referral to have a scan? Good luck.

Thank you.

I asked about sepsis and gp was happy.

I have just turned 40, so could be start of something new. I feel ok now am monitoring.

Id phone 111. no one should be going through a pad an hour. get checked out by someone else x
