Heavy bleeding during menstruation is usually related to a hormonal imbalance.
Heavy bleeding is usually a sign of NOT being pregnant. "Pregnancy symptoms" is also a very broad statement. A heavy period could cause bloating, breast swelling, and even an upset stomach. If you are unsure, it is best to go ahead and just take a pregnancy test to be on the safe side. If there is a small chance, it is better to know for sure. If the heavy bleeding continues, or is reoccurring, you need to talk to your doctor to find out why.
If a wound is bleeding severely, it is best to cover it with a bandage and pressure. Direct pressure on an open wound may cause some damage, but stopping the bleeding is more important.
You would be best seeking professional medical help. Ring the number on the NHS Direct website (which I have added as a related link) immediately
Yes. I had very heavy periods before I went on a birth control pill. I noticed quite the difference within 3 months of being on the pill, since it takes about this long to get to its full potential. I no longer have to go to the bathroom all the time to check for leaks and do not have the heavy bleeding, sore breasts, or cramps I used to have.
The best advice to you is to go see your doctor. Massive bleeding is not something you want to ignore. Ever.
Your TEMP increases throughout the day & then decreases again. TEMPs usually increase during period, Ovulation and evening. This is normal & I honestly wouldn't rely on this as being a indication of pregnancy as it can be very misleading. If your bleeding is excessively heavy or heavy & worrisome, contact your DR for a evaluation. It is probably nothing to worry about but its best to ere on the side of caution, especially if you suspect pregnancy.
control the bleeding by the application of a pressure dressing.
it may not, but it certainly is not the best thing for it.
depends on how much you are bleeding. if you are wondering and unsure, and can't take a simple pregnancy test, a sure way to tell is if your boobs are tender. when your boobs are tender and you are spotting, but not really bleeding, then you are probably pregnant. If you are bleeding every day (especially if you are not pregnant), you might want to contact your doctor.
Getting a pap smear right between periods is easiest and most comfortable. You can get a pap smear anytime you're not bleeding heavily, though.
