SO i have these horrible cramps in my lower back and I went to use the bathroom and a big clot, between nickle and quarter sized, came off of the tissue..and i was wearing a regular tampon. This happens every time so i just wonder if that s normal or not. Also, i cant seem to stop gaining or lose weight since i had my baby 3 years ago, no matter how much I exercise or eat right, so i want to know if the two might be connected
Dear-thanks for using our service and will give you my medical advice. Sometimes, if you have heavy menstrual period, you can have some clots or blood getting out, although you have a tampon. You want to make sure that this is not a problem having your regular pap or cytology test with your doctor. The back cramps are coming from your menstrual period, some women are more prone to others, but is considered normal, unless it is a new problem. The problem with weight could be secondary to alterations in the hormones as hypothyroidism, so I suggest to check blood levels of TSH. You can go to your regular doctor for that and he/she can order the blood test. I hope that my advice has been helpful. Chat Doctor.
