Pull-ups have been life changing… I quit a job over flooding but a pull-up is security from being embarrassed…
Im 58 and just starting but love my depends
Yes I'm 49 and use a diaper on two days and nights of my period
I'm 40 and I use adult diapers for heavy bleed too it helps . Sad to some ppl are very insensitive. Glad I'm not the only one using this
Thats me right now and always I am so tire of this pain, changing pads every 30 minutes is crazy and I feel tire and weak also don't even want to go out
I bleed so much I needed a blood transfusion. I bleed for 30 days straight of HEAVY bleeding. They also gave me a Lupron injection 💉 to shut down my ovaries. I had a bad reaction to Lupron. I nearly lost my mind, my face was numb, and I lost weight. I also had insomnia and severe panic attacks. This went on for months. I literally thought I was dying. Sure, I had no period for 3 months, but it was not worth it. I should sue. It was the worst experience of my life! Now I'm back to bleeding heavy again and terrified of ever letting a doctor touch me again. I've just been living with it because nothing works. I don't know what to do. 😢
I had a Mirena put in me for heavy bleeding now it's great only spotting
Ask your doctor for a script for Transamic Acid. It is a pill that stops uterine bleeding - even severe bleeding - very quickly. Why most doctors aren’t aware of this is beyond me! It works and I usually only need one dose to stop it.
That's funny when she said, Hang in there girl." I'm trying.. I'm trying...lol
Super plus tampons was my norm, when perimenopause hit, I thought I out smarted and found ultra super plus tampons. I'm loosing so much blood so fast, I get anemic and dizzy and light headed in the shower. Even with ultra super plus tampons I'm soaking it every hour and a half. Perimenopause wins :) -A
I went past ultra tampons to pull-ups several years ago.
@@mendy5453 whoa. I might have to try
Maternity pads sometimes also help for heave periods
@@Chirpingcherub how about a fluffy pillow like a saddle 🤣
Ask your doctor for a script for transamic acid. This will stop a heavy period almost within the first dose. It’s been a life saver for me and has allowed me to be able to live a busy life on the days when I can’t afford to have a bleed through. I’ve had several embarrassing episodes and it is nice to know I can go out in confidence.
Heavy bleeding is a big problem for so many women but hardly anyone knows about transamic acid. This is a pill and it is very effective! You need to get a script from your doctor.
I am 52 and suffer extremely badly bleeding thanks for the info ❤
I was told it's the body's last hurrah before u go into menopause. I used an asprin. It worked for me. It stopped my period for a few hrs then slowed it down. So it was normal. Dont take over 3 tho. Dont use to stop yor period for days. It's just to slow it down so it will be normal. Worked for me
How are you doing now? I'm 52 now & have had fibroids for years & just had the worst cycle I've ever had (very long) & have always had heavy cycles.
I am 50 and the periods are so heavy..like a torrent sometimes! Just awful 😢
@@paromita10 Sorry to hear. I know the feeling. Mine have gotten worse since I had Covid. They are getting better now-less to little clots. I am also in perimemopause. I was prescribed provera. I don't like meds. Ask your doctor if this is something you're interested in. Hang in there it will end💓
@@Amatullah.574 Thanks so much for your encouraging words 🙏🏼I really hope this blood loss will end soon as I don’t have much energy to do anything else. I will ask the doctor about Provera. Thanks and I hope you get much better soon too.
My aunt is 46 years old and she's experiencing this and this video helped her
How did it help?
Jeez i want her to bw my doctor she gives you alot of info. Love it !!
Still amazed with the immediate healing i received from Dr.ALUDA on youtube, now i'm free from my multiple fibroids and heavy bleeding permanently through herbal supplements and i say only God will reward you for all the good works you putting out for people.
Use progesterone cream to balance estrogen dominance and control heavy bleeding and flooding periods. It works, ive been using it since 2013
how much and how often do you use of progesterone cream, cause im bleeding for like 8 days now and it's very heavy never had a irreguarlar period before in my life. im so stressed out thinking when is this one going to end, ugggg. help please
@@eveclark2756 It sounds like you have estrogen dominance, but you should follow up with your ob/gyn as there are other things that can cause heavy bleeding. If you've ever had bad pms, or postpartum depression after giving birth you are most likely low in progesterone and it will follow you later in life when you go through perimenopause. Try Progesta-Care with Progesterone, 4 oz. bottle, Ebay Amazon or a local healthfood store can order it. You use one full pump of cream morning and night after ovulation till you get your period then stop and start all over the next month. It takes a little while to get into your system but there are lots of benefits. Read up on it, google progesterone cream, we have to be our own advocate. Good luck, hope you can get a healthy balance.
@@whitekitten05 Thanks for this. Is this the same as Provera? I was given this but I don't like to take meds.
@@Amatullah.574 be careful with this stuff! It caused me to have tachycardia !
People? Not women?
Almost 56 here and I still have my period! This last one has been weird though, it’s lasted 2 months (not heavy though)
54 with heavy periods? U just depressed me😢
Omg, I'm 53 and my period comes early some months and later sometimes, it's all over the place. Looking forward to the end of this.
Almost a year later and things have leveled out. I get my period about every 3 months and it’s normal.
Tranexamic acid helps the blood to clot, why is this recommended. Wouldn't it create clots in other areas in your body🤷🏾♀️
Excellent question. 🤗 I thought the same thing.
Tranexamic helps not to clot.
yes, it clots the blood and does put you ar risk for blood clots and Deep Vein Thrombosis
It breaks the clot down slower. The same amount of blood is still there.I am noticing this now since I have stopped taking Tranexamic acid and clots are just gushing out now.
@@melita8640 same the dr put me on it when I don’t take it or the dose wears off it’s uncontrollable
She's so pretty I forgot what she said.
O.o Most of the people watching this wouldn't be distracted by that.
@@Primalxbeast good luck with your heavy flow ♥️
That biopsy hurts some bad❤
Ablations don’t work
At all! I feel like they do it for money! I’ve had it done and 3 friends and we’re still bleeding heavily!
I am tired of it. Have had heavy cycles since 13 years old, I am in my kind of late 40's and they are still heavy! I want a hysterectomy. This is so embarrassing, and the Alleve's are not working as good anymore.
I’m 45 in July and just starting perimanapause . I’ve had my period from January 28 to now march 30. It’s heavy for most of the time but I can go hours w/out changing tampons. However it will lighten for a few days and I think it’s ending then it will get heavy again. It’s not painful but I did feel faint after showering and I’d like to exercise again. Hopefully 🙏 it will stop soon. It’s good to know it can be normal to go through this
That's exactly what I'm going through right now. I'm 51 yr old and I've never experienced a long period. Just like you, my period was heavy, then it seemed like it was going to stop but 3rd week in and it's become heavy again. Its ruining my life! I just want the period to end now
Me too I started on the 10th of March till today it's not going,I'm so tired of this I'm on a diet I'm literally not eating anything except raw veggies and fruits but nothing is changing I'm just starving myself for nothing,coz this thing has no respect I'm telling u🤦
Update my period finally STOPPED 🙌 after 2 months and 2 weeks‼️there is hope folks hang in there it will STOP😃 also I started taking 65mg of iron a day with food and Vitamin C chewable b/c I heard the Vitamin C helps the iron absorb better. This helped a lot with stamina fatigue and faintness!!! Good luck 🍀 and God Speed 🫡 my fellow perimenopausians lol 😂
I had an endometrial ablation. Now they saying a hysterectomy. Diagnosed me with adenomyosis.
Hang in there 😒 girl I feel like I’ve been premenopausal since age 35 and after a whole decade these pains are getting worst and worst. How can a girl “hang in there” when pain this bad starts disrupting work, family.. life? I swear doctors are idiots 🙄
Completely agree with you 😔
Thanks you
Endometrial ablation does help by decreasing your flow to barely anything. Women that had it done say they bleed in spots, or they bleed very little, and some stop bleeding altogether. Good thing for women that don't want any children. You cannot become pregnant after having that procedure, at least that's what I was told. The cost is $1,500 ... That's the cheaper solution versus a hysterectomy. Recovery time for endometrial ablation is same day outpatient.
47 started heavy bleeding a year ago few days after covid vaccine and still having heavy periods…I am not sure if I am in perimenopause or is is side effect of vaccine
I am 47 and have heavy periods and large clots. Did you visit your dr ?
Exactly the same thing here! 47, heavy heavy bleeding, had 2nd booster 2 months ago. Exhausted.
@@spookyhouses stop getting boosted
My friend has this also after the jabs. 1st one was non stop bleeding for 6 weeks.
Thank god I had a hysterectomy so I was able to bypass perimenopause
I can’t get a doctor to perform a hysterectomy, so you are very lucky.
@@neveseven734 I had to fight for 15 years to have a hysterectomy. Just keep looking and eventually someone will perform a hysterectomy
Not the best route for women. But I understand. Just don't recommend.
@@Amatullah.574 woman who go through these heavy bleeds are usually estrogen dominant which can lead to all kinds of female cancers! Hysterectomy is probably the best and most logical choice for us!!
@@ellafroeman1110 that is so untrue. Heavy periods have nothing to do with cancer at all.
This is me right now. 31 days of bleeding and going out of my mind had all the texts snd biopsy, the meds to stop bleeding yet it’s still happening. Waiting to find out what next. 😢
How are you doing now? I am 55 and on day 21 of HEAVY bleeding and clots!! Doc put me on 325mg iron/3x's day for anemia. I was also given progesterone and progestin. It slowed the bleed to normal but I ended up with tachycardia so had to stop!!! Now I don't know if there's any help other than surgery which I am scheduled for, but not until May! I don't think drs take us seriously . At least that sadly seems to be my case.
Same thing happening to me right now
This perimenopause stage is no joke. I'm constantly worried about my health. How did you manage nerves while on the waiting game of trying to figure things out? That's the hardest for me. So scared of the C word since NY dad died from it. Next week, I go in for a ultrasound, following biopsy. I'm so scared 😔
@@rudet79 Try not to panic. I know it's so hard! I ended up having a hysterectomy 2 weeks ago just to end it all. Even though I'm 55 and *this close to meno, I couldn't deal with the constant worry and bleeding any more!! It was taking a toll on my mental health as well.
After they removed my uterus, my surgeon found out I had ademomyosis. I never knew. For some reason it never showed up on any of my thousands of ultrasounds.
So this is what was causing my EXTREME bleeding!! It was a drastic step to take to end this bleeding, but in the long run it would of prob come down to a surgery later on anyways.
I hope you can get your issue resolved. Hang in there and listen to your body. If you feel something isn't right, I would entertain the idea of a hysterectomy just so there are no future concerns. ♥️ You got this! We are strong!!
Thank you! 😊 ❤ we are strong!
thank you
I am 54 and still having periods, I am so over this.. This last one was pretty heavy but the one before that was only 3 days and before that I didnt have one for 5 months...
Hi Queen I’ve been living with fibroid😭for more than 5years now but I got rid of it naturally after using DROMOCURE herbal medicine his channel on UA-cam is dromocure
I’m really considering a hysterectomy. I just turned 53 a few days ago and last week I had a Hysteroscopy for remove a polyp which we thought was causing the heavy bleeding and blood clots. 4 days after the procedure, I ended up in the ER because my bleeding got out of control with a ton of huge blood clots. The bleeding had nothing to do with the procedure, it was actually my period that had started. They have me in Provera 10mg, 3x a day but since. I have fibroids too and one is 6cm and I think the others are small. I have an appt with my ONGYN to discuss other options. If I do decide to have the hysterectomy, I will leave my ovaries.
did the Provera work?
It did at first when it was prescribed to me. The bleeding stopped the nest day. I was taking 2 pills every 6 hours. I stopped taking them and the bleeding came back. The second time they prescribed them to me, they didn’t really work bc I was still spotting and having light bleeding
Try Cinnamon, or clove essential oil massage into body. Or take everyday cinnamon or cloves in drink. Also Shepherds purse so far very effective for heavy periods/endometriosis.
I have sent other alternatives that are not showing here probably don’t want you to know about them.
How do you dring Shepherds purse?
@@asp4752 They come in tablet form not sure if anyone way. I got mine on Amazon.
I want to prepare my teeth in usa wherever please help me
I found YAM cream made a big difference it’s good for treating endometriosis too.
Do you think it's the vitamin A?
@@susan3200 Sorry have no idea possibly but it was mentioned by a alternative medicine, home remedies teacher and we found it made a difference. The cream is expensive £50 but only small dab and worth it if it helps.
What is YAM cream?
@@iminit4themoney330 Yam cream is a herbal cream that has properties in it that help with hormonal issues. There are yam tablets too. But the yam was recommended by a herbalist.
@@paulaivens8063 thank you so much!!!!!
Get your iron checked.
Hi doctors
I had a hysterescopy after they found I had fibroids
The thyroid, brain and ovaries create hormones. B6, L tyrosine, Zinc, magnesium and iron are highly important nutrients during perimenopause. Do your own research.
I'm sorry I been having changes my doctor tell me I'm too young to start pure menopause there haven't exam me not true cuz my mo. Started young too
We suffer men…… We suffer. 😢.
It's so amazing when one finally finds joy in achieving something that's so important to human, Dr Aluda you truly God sent, The herbs you sent to me work like magic, am fibroids free and healthy now:
Wat can I do for enlargened uterus ...pls help ...was bleeding heavy and hb is 5 at the moment.
That’s such a low hb. I had it that low after having my first child. I could barely walk and had to have a blood transfusion. I hope you’re ok now!
Six person to watch
