Hey everyone,

For the past few months, maybe 4 months or 5, my mother has been bleeding as though on her period. She gets bad cramps and large clots on occasion too. She just won't stop. It can stop for a day sometimes, but then it is back in full flow. It is very heavy. She is overdue to have a contraceptive loop removed from her cervix by about 5 years!! Could this be the cause?

Please help, I am a little worried.

I would suggest to your mum to go to a gynea asap.

Yes, I have been saying this, especially since she is prone to annemia, but she won't until the insuance is sorted (it won't be for about a week) and I wanted to get some info.

Have you searched the net?
I'm sorry I can't really help, I would if I knew but I don't, sorry.

Yeah, it is inconclusive mostly. I hope someone has some kind of experience to help, usually that is the best way, but certain the gynea in a week! Thanks Krs, xx

Please see a doctor! My Ausnt had a similar symptom and was really ill... she's OK now, but it was a long hawl...

Yes, this can be a serious problem, especially if the "loop" was to be removed 5 years ago. This could possibly be an infection and she should get to the doc as soon as possible.

Thank you for all of your help! :D
