tear in uterus ??

hello minti parents

i havent been very active on minti for tha last couple of weeks due to some medical problems.

it all started about three weeks ago when my mentrual cycle began. i am on the noristerat injection (birthcontrol) for over a year and have never had problems with it in the past. in fact it actually helped to calm down my heavy periods and severe cramping since i have been on it.

all went well for the first two to three days when i noticed that it was not just a regular period, i was bleeding heavily and was in severe pain. then it went away for about three days. i went out on the 1st of feb with a friend for the day and while we were out swimming i felt a sharp menstrual like cramp coming on and to my embarrisment my friend told me to get out of the waves coz there was blood coming out of me and not just a little quite alot. ever since sunday i now have the cramps constantly and i bleed quite bad. i first thought that it might just be from my birthcontrol injection but then i did some research and found out that i have the symptoms of a tear in the uterus or uteral lining.

i had a ceaser when i had my son and now i fear that i might have a tear on the scar of the ceaser. when i get the cramps its one particular spot inside a bit to the left.

i feel sick all the time with the blood loss i have been having and dont know if i should rather go see a gynea or wait it out and see what happens. im fed up with blood!

can anyone please give some advice on what i can do????

Get to your GP as soon as possible. He can act now rather than waiting to see a gnae. Your GP should be able to give you medication to stop the blood loss. You probably need an iron supplement too.

All the best,

I agree to see a doc asap.. more likely  a good reason to go to the ED because if you are bleeding badly enough when swimmin for  a friend to notice lots of blood around you in water.. thats wayy more than its supposed to be.. even on my heaviest days I wouldnt have that happen.. you need to find out how the blood loss is affecting you and health wise etc also what is the cause is something you need to know, so that it can be repaired.

I hope you get some answers soon. Cheers from Mel xx

Re: tear in uterus ??

that sounds like an aweful thing to have to go through.  if it were me, I would be seeing a dr tomorrow for a proper assessment.  if you can't get into a gp or gynae, it might be worth a trip to the ED.  I would want to know exactly what the problem is.  You should probably also have a blood test to check hormone levels and haemaglobin/iron levels- with that much bleeding you will probably need an iron supplement at the least.  in the meantime, try to get some rest, use a hot pack for your tummy and take pain relief regularly.  if it gets worse get checked out straight away.  hope you feel better soon.

I would go to the hospital, do not drive yourself (cos if you've lost enough blood, you may well pass out) as substantial blood loss could be fatal and I'm sure they would rather have you come in and get checked out for nothing rather than stay at home and end up really sick. It may very well be a tear or something of the sort, it could just be your birth control or it could be something else, but I would definetely get it checked out. Best of luck.
