I have been experiencing extremely heavy
periods and I am passing large clots or
tissue of some sort. I have had my tubes
tied for several years so I know it can't
be anything to do with a pregnancy. What
could be causing this?

Hey.. Posted: 03-01-04 19:51pm
Sometimes my periods are worse then
others. Some months my period gets really
heavy, and I get really bad cramps, and I
pass these huge clots. It freaks me out
everytime, but my mother told me that it
happens to alot of women. I am sorry I
can't tell you why it happens, or help you
in anyway, but I can tell you that you are
not alone.

Heavy Periods...... Posted: 09-23-04 17:53pm
Hi, I had these really heavy periods for
many years, and I was finally diagnosed
with fibroid tumors. They are
non-cancerous in 99% of all cases, but
they were causing me severe anemia, so I
sought treatment. My gyn told me I
needed a hysterectomy, but I was only 40
years old at the time, and I found this
less invasive procedure. It is called
uterine fibriod embolization. I was back
to work in 4 days, and my period is not
heavy at all any more. Plus I have all
my parts intact. You should check it
out. This was the best thing I have ever
done for my health.
