Hello Doctor,
I've been bleeding heavily for a while now, and when I stand up, it feels like it's pouring out, almost like water. Should I go to the hospital or is this something I can manage at home?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. Yes, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Heavy bleeding at 47 can be caused by conditions such as fibroids, adenomyosis, an infection, a hormone imbalance, or even early-stage endometrial cancer.
2. It's important to get investigated through a scan, Pap smear, pipelle test sample, and blood and urine tests to determine the cause.
3. Depending on the findings, the bleeding can often be managed with medication or a minor surgical procedure. Please visit the hospital and consult a specialist as soon as you can.
Thanks
