I am having period problems since last 3 to 5 months. - #20049

Rubi

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.

I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

Hello,

Your symptoms are not normal and need urgent gynecologist evaluation

Possible reasons:

severe anemia, hormonal imbalance, thyroid problems, PCOS, uterine infection, fibroids/polyps, bleeding disorder, or pregnancy-related issue (if sexually active).

Need physical exam Blood tests Pelvic USG

Until you see a doctor: Rest, hydrate, eat iron-rich foods Paracetamol for pain (avoid self-starting hormonal pills) Don’t ignore symptoms

I trust its clear and helpful Thank you

I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

The symptoms you’re describing—irregular and heavy bleeding, dizziness, swelling, severe pain, and fever—can be concerning and might indicate an underlying condition that needs medical evaluation. There are a few potential causes to consider, such as hormonal imbalances, uterine fibroids, polyps, or even more systemic conditions like thyroid disorders or clotting diseases. The thickness of the blood and changes in hair texture or loss suggests there might be a hormonal component to these symptoms, possibly pointing towards polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or other endocrine problems. Swelling in the hands, feet, and face along with fever might indicate an inflammatory or even infectious process, which requires prompt medical assessment. It’s critical to have a complete blood count, hormone levels, and possibly an ultrasound of the pelvis to identify any structural abnormalities.

Given that you’re experiencing severe symptoms, it’s important to see a healthcare provider as soon as possible. Meanwhile, keeping a record of your symptoms, including bleeding patterns, severity of pain, and other associated features like swelling and fever, can be helpful for your healthcare provider in diagnosing your condition. Avoid self-medicating or waiting too long, especially as the dizziness and severe pain could escalate. If the symptoms like fever or dizziness worsen rapidly, you should seek emergency medical attention. In terms of what you can do right now, staying hydrated might help with dizziness, and using an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen may temporarily ease the severe pain, although it’s not a solution for the underlying cause. This must be balanced against your known health conditions or medications.
