sex and bleeding

Hey,

Just like everyone else has said.... it is safe but can be messy....

Few options.... 1 the shower, mess washes away...

2nd, and as gross as this may sound it works..... As i have a friend who was a prostitute (spelling???) and she used this method to keep her income coming.... 'SEA SPONGE' from the make-up section in the local chemist....

Dampen the sponge and insert it (you know where) go and enjoy making love with your husband, with little to no mess, the sea sponge will soak up most of the blood.... then while having a shower after the moment, remove the sponge. that can be a bit tricky but the trick is to squat down and insert you fingers to remove it.... Takes a little time and practice....

I can say from experience that it works.... as i had not seen my man for a few months due to living in different states for a while, and the one week we had time to catch up i had my periods, bugger..... then i remembered my friends comments on how ladies in that industry maintain their money flow on 'that week'..... 

Also, i will say what alot of others have said, go back to you GP and express your problem again, bleeding that much is not good for you, your iron levels will be down which in turn will make you feel very weak.... Take care of yourself and good luck.....

Good Luck

Re: sex and bleeding

There is no reason not to have sex while bleeding.  Some people don't like it because of the mess factor, but if you have a plastic sheet or an old sheet to keep the mess factor down, then go for it.

Have you tried going on the triphasal pill to see if you can't trick your body into a regular cycle?  Worked for me a few years back and have been somewhat regular since (yeah, been pregnant more than not over the last 6 years! lol).

Re: sex and bleeding

Hey hunny! Sex is safe to have just messy..... I had suffered with endometrosis and now its under great control. Hope that you go to the doctors to get some medication  which vary from the pill, hormone treatment and IUD's. If all fails there is other procedure of sugery but thats in extreme cases. Please please go and see to it asap. Im so gald it doesnt hurt to have sex as it did for me and had to suffer alot of pain and its great now not to suffer with that much pain.

let us know how you go.

Re: sex and bleeding

can u tell me what the procedure is? i have had a D&C and a laparospicsy (spelling)  and my unterus reattched as it come off the wall 2 years ago. my endo is really bad and my gyno (sadly now retired) wanted me to have a hystorectomy but am 25 so i cant without a few GP's writing a letter to the helth minister i think he said saying i need it done for health and mental health reasons. my Gp didnt agree with it so i changed gps. this one has my mothers medical hystory ( she was 27 when she had it done) and is more willing to write a letter refering it for me, he is also my mental health doc too ( the only one to belive me)

I am on the pill, have had an IUD and it made me feel very sore in the tummy area and it cut my hubby when we had sex, so that was no good and the hormone pill didnt work last time ( am on it again atm).

Re: sex and bleeding

conservative or radical is the 2 proceedures that i know of and that is Laparotomy and Hysterectomy.  If you have had laparotomy  and that didnt work i would try the combined treatment with the laparotomy and the danazol. If you have tried that then you are at the end of the line where maybe the Hysterectomy has to be discussed. I dont like the idea that you are so young and thats something that you can only decide. And yes your right at your age youll need permission to get it done fromthe health minister and you will also have to get 2 doctors to sign of on it as well(depending on the state). after having babiesdid it get better at all? or did it get worse? I see it is in your family too, mine is the same and thats why they would sign me of if i really wanted to. I was 23 when they suggested to have the hyst but i had no kids so i decided not to and put up with the pain.

I have had the 2 kids now so if it was to come back as bad as it was i would get it done but im now 33 so its not such a big deal for me now. When you go to the docs  discuss every avenue before making any major choices. If you need to talk please feel free! you got my msn and you have minti hunni!

Re: sex and bleeding

yeah its a pain in the bum. i was really bad as a child/teenager (13-21 when i had my second bub) then after i had charlie it got a whole heap worse. i had the depo shot and the doc said yay no more periods for u. boy was he so more further from the truth. i bled constantly for the next 9 months. i had days where i went through a pack of 14 pads in a day. :( i have inquired a few times to have it done as my hubby and i both feel that having another child would not be good for my mental health as well as we are scared that i will end up back inside the mental ward of the hospital again. ( i dont want that) the pain is unbearable somedays. and i am bed ridden alot from bot my legs and the endo pain. when i had the D&C the gyno said it was very bad and i needed the hysto, just needed the letter from my gp who disagreed. :( hopefull my doc now will be different. get my knees sorted first.

thanks sweety.

Re: sex and bleeding

Hi,

It is fine to have sex while bleeding, one of my friends does when she has her period.Personally i dont because i think thats a time where our body is cleaning out.. I would go and see a doctor to see if there is anything they can do to control all the bleeding you get, i hope there is something they can do for you.

Re: sex and bleeding

No need at all to feel bad at all. Sex is natural and I think most of us have had sex while bleeding at one stage or another. I know personally it never stops us haha

Hope you do go to a specialist as your really suffering and I am sure there is more they can do!

Re: sex and bleeding

Hi honey,

I am glad you asked as this is an important issue as it effects you and your partner . . AS everyone else has said it is safe to have sex (or make-love, which ever you prefer) while you are bleeding . . .

BUT mate - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE insist that you GP refer you to a specialist as you don't need to suffer so badly. They are things that can be done to help surgically . . .

Cheers Kellz

Re: sex and bleeding

Yes you can, and sometimes can be more enjoyable than normally. Don't ask me why, it just is. Depending on the amount you are bleeding depends on how messy it can get. Yes use towels or be prepared to change sheets etc if it is a lot. Showers are good.

I have just recently been put on a progesterone tablet, to lessen the amount that I bleed a month. It is like 3 weeks out of 4. It is still to be seen if it is going to work, have just started taking it yesterday, as I have to take it from day 5 to day 26. Hopefully this will work. Maybe that may also be an option for you. Talk to your doctor about it.

Re: sex and bleeding

As others have said, yes, sex while bleeding is fine - just messy. Do you use birth control? The pill can help regulate your period. Also the implanon can be good - that's the rod that gets inserted into the arm. The majority of women who have it in have their bleeding either stop completely or become very light. I was an unlucky one - I actually bled more then usual while I had it in! It might be worth a try for you. Talk to your doctor anyway. Maybe you just need a curet (think that's how it's spelt) or the doctor may know another way to help you.

Good luck!

Re: sex and bleeding

There's nothign wrong or unsafe about it, just be aware it can get messy. Sex in the shower is a good way to avoid that problem. lol

Re: sex and bleeding

firstly, please nag your dr for some treatment, because bleeding for such a long time is not good for your body.

it is ok to have sex whilst bleeding, if you really want to.  but, protect your bed with old towels or sheets, and be warned....  it could be messy!!!!

don't continue to have sex if it is or becomes painful and use protection, unless you want a little one!?!!

but most of all, and i know i'm repeating myself, please go to see your dr and don't leave without treatment or a referral to elsewhere!

anyhow.....  enjoy!!!
