I have been having periods for the last 3 to 4 months. It goes away in a day and comes and goes at any time. There is no fixed time and there is a lot of bleeding in a day. There is swelling in the hands, feet and face. I also feel dizzy and the pain is very severe. The blood is very thick and black hair is falling out in very little quantity. Fever also comes during periods.

Hello Rubi Thank you for describing your symptoms in detail. Having irregular, heavy, and unpredictable periods with severe pain, swelling in your hands/feet/face, dizziness, fever, and thick, dark blood is concerning and needs proper evaluation.
These symptoms can be caused by several conditions, such as: - Hormonal imbalance (like PCOS or thyroid issues) - Uterine problems (like fibroids or endometriosis) - Blood disorders (like anemia or clotting problems) - Infection (fever during periods can sometimes suggest this)
The swelling (edema), dizziness, and fever are not typical for normal periods and suggest that your body is under stress or there may be another underlying issue.
What You Should Do Next 1. See a gynecologist as soon as possible for a full evaluation. You may need: - Blood tests (CBC, thyroid, hormones, clotting profile) - Pelvic ultrasound to check for fibroids, cysts, or other uterine issues 2. Track your symptoms: Note when the bleeding starts, how long it lasts, how much blood you lose, and any other symptoms (pain, fever, swelling). 3. Take care of yourself: Rest, stay hydrated, and eat iron-rich foods (like spinach, lentils, jaggery) to help with blood loss. 4. Seek urgent care if you have: - Very heavy bleeding (soaking through pads every 1–2 hours) - Severe dizziness or fainting - High fever or severe pain
Thank you
Hi Rubi, thanks for reaching out and sharing this.
Your symptoms are not normal periods and need urgent gynecologist checkup to rule out anemia, hormonal issues, infection or bleeding disorder.
Heavy and frequent bleeding with dizziness and very thick blood can cause or worsen severe anemia, which can be dangerous if ignored.
Swelling of hands/feet/face and hair fall suggest your body is under stress and must be evaluated with blood tests and ultrasound soon.
Fever during periods is not typical; it can mean infection in the pelvis or elsewhere, so do not delay seeing a doctor or visiting ER if fever or pain increases.
Until you see a doctor: rest, drink plenty of fluids, avoid over‑the‑counter painkillers like aspirin that increase bleeding, and go to emergency care if you feel very weak, breathless, or if bleeding soaks pads hourly.
With care and proper treatment, this can be brought under control—please see a gynecologist in person as soon as possible.
