Extended Menstrual Bleeding with Dried Blood: What to Watch For


Question
Hi. I have been having a period that has lasted over 2 weeks
now. It hasn't been a normal period. I have random cramps
and im only bleeding dried blood. After the first 3 days, I
passed 2 large "squares or lumps" of tissue. It also was
covered in dried blood. I dont know if this is something
serious or not. I started using the birth control shot a
month before and skipped that period. I was assuming that
the dried blood was from that, but the longer this goes on
the more I worry. Please respond as soon as possible. Thank
you!

Bonnie

Answer
Dear Bonnie,

How have you been doing since you posted this question to me? Did you ever have a regular period?

If you are still having problems, I would recommend that you call or consult your physician. This could be something serious. It's also possible that it is a side effect from the birth control shot.

I don't recommend any kind of hormonal birth control because of side effects and risks. Why don't you email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and we can talk more about this? Please email me and let me know an update on your condition. Don't take chances with your health.

Hope to hear from you soon.
