Adenomyosis (also referred to as Endometriosis Interna) can cause the uterus to appear boggy and enlarged.  While a diagnosis of adenomyosis can be based on a collection of symptoms and appearances on diagnostic tests, the only absolute diagnosis is through hysterectomy, which is also the cure for the disorder (no uterus=no adenomyosis).\n\nSometimes oral contraceptives or other hormonal agents can help shink the uterus, but symptoms (including pelvic pain and heavy blood loss during menses) may continue.  See your doc to be certain of what you might be dealing with and obtain the proper treatment.

i also have the exact same symptoms. the doc said it is normal and that your period also gets heavier as you get older and have more babies and your uterus sheds. but not 2 heavy periods per month.

There are all sorts of causes...but you should ask a qualified medical expert if you're having problems. I will say that there are some women who don't have them at all until they take certain medications. I don't know anything more specific, though. Do call your family physician or a good OB/GYN.

A fibroid (leiomyoma, in medical terms) is a benign tumor of the smooth muscle of the uterus.\n\nThey can make it difficult to become or stay pregnant if they are large.  They are not cancerous.  Sometimes they can get HUGE and necessitate a hysterectomy, but usually they are small.\n\nYours must be quite small if they are going to remove it by hysteroscope.  The worst you will probably feel is cramping afterward, which is best relieved by drugs like Motrin. (Ask your anesthesiologist for Toradol)\n\nHope that helps!

Hope this helps. Fibroids are not generally life threatening. Most women that have fibroids suffer heavy menstruation and that tends to make you anemic.  There are alternatives to surgery and they include use of a catheter to cut off the blood supply to the fibroid and it eventually sloughs off the uterine wall and you will pass out the pieces (falls out in chunks).  A small tube is inserted in the main blood vessels that supply the fibroid and blocks the blood from reaching the fibroid.  Generally takes a few months and is painless and no surgery or hysterectomy.  Also, if they are not very large a D&C (Dilation & Cutterage) may be performed.  Basically, they give you a general anasthetic, dilate your cervix and scrape the fibroids off your uterus.  If you have not had a child, some doctors may recommend pregnancy depending on the size or location of the fibroids but you will have to monitor your pregnancy closely as fibroids my grow during pregnancy.  Other doctors recommend partial or radical (total) hysterectomy; I disagree with that option unless your bloodloss is so great that your life is in danger or the fibroid is so big that it's putting you in danger.  Finally, if you are not comfortable with your doctor's option of surgery, get a second & third opinion.  Research treatment options and discuss them with your doctor(s).

its genetics. A uterus doesn't "become" tilted. It is or has always been that way. I have the same issue, and it was diagnosed about 12 years ago. Uterine placement is not something common, so it is not looked for or noticed in routine paps. It can hinder conception as the sperm have a harder time getting up "the slope" per se.

No- this is not normal at all and needs to be checked out by a doctor.  In general menstrual abnormalities can be due to many things including hormonal imbalance, stress, weight gain/loss, infection, medications, illness, thyroid, polyp, cyst, amongst other reasons.  Please see your doctor to get tested, so the exact cause may be determined.

Are you referring to fibroids?  The most important question to ask is do the fibroids need to be treated at all.   The vast majority of fibroids grow as a woman gets older, and tend to shrink after menopause.  Obviously fibroids that are causing significant symptoms need treatment.   While it is often easier to treat smaller fibroids than larger ones, most of the small ones never will need to be treated.  So just because we can treat fibroids while they are small, it doesn't follow that we should treat them.  The location of the fibroids plays a strong influence on how to approach them.

There can be a lot of reasons for this.  One of the big ones is being extreme exercise.  Other reasons are usually hormone related and there are many differnt causes.  Definately check with an OB-Gyn about it.\n\nI only had 2-3 periods a year from the time I was 14 until I had a hysterectomy when I was 45.  When I was 29 and got pregnant the first time, I had a miscarriage.  I then had 5 more miscarriages over the next few years.  I saw a fertility specialist, and found out I had what was called a luteal phase defect and my uterus did not build up enough early in pregnancy to support a baby.  There are medications to treat many hormone problems, so the best place to start is your ob-gyn.

Symptom of Adenomyosis is a medical condition characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue (the inner lining of the uterus) within the myometrium (the thick, muscular layer of the uterus).\n\nThe condition is typically found in women in the ages between 35 and 50. Patients with adenomyosis can have painful and/or profuse menses (dysmenorrhea & menorrhagia, respectively).\n\nAdenomyosis may involve the uterus focally, creating an adenomyoma, or diffusely. With diffuse involvement, the uterus becomes bulky and heavier.\n  or it may be something else please check with link:\nMay God Bless you!  Good Luck kiddo!

There are so many different things that could be causing abnormal bleeding. You should see yur gynecologist ASAP. I'm 42 and was having the same problem My gynecologist found fibroid tumors. Had a hysterectomy which removed the tumors(which were benign as in most cases).\nBut could be anything as simple as dieting, stress, etc.\nTrust yur gyn and go see him/her

You need to go see your gynecologist, because there  could be some  \nfibroid tumors, endometriosis, ovarian cancer and even uterus cancer.  That happen to me almost 4 years ago come January.  The first one was about 1/10 and the second one was about 1/21.  I went to my gynecologist and that June I had a hysterectomy, of course I had fibroid tumors.   Get checked out.  And to ease your mind a little a lot of females go through that change when your period is just changing cycles.

Some of the common reasons for women to have irregular periods [excluding menapause, pregnancy, miscarrage, birth control etc.] would be a sudden drop or gain in wieght or sudden increase in physical activity.  If none of these apply to you, you may need to contact your doctor.  Hope all is well.  Good Luck!

It sounds just like pms and regular periods that a woman with a uterus and ovaries would have.  It could be the hormones.  The same type of thing happens sometimes when you miss a birth control pill and have to double up or change pills.  Have you spoken with your doctor about it?  It could be a symptom of something serious.

not unless they have 2 uterus's
