Hello, I understand your worry. Bleeding for 35 days with blood clots and feeling faint/weak is NOT normal and should not be ignored. You may be developing significant anemia from prolonged blood loss, especially since you also missed periods for several months before this started.

Possible causes can include: - Hormonal imbalance/PCOS - Miscarriage or pregnancy-related bleeding - Fibroids - Severe anemia - Other gynecological conditions

Because you feel like collapsing, you really do need medical evaluation as soon as possible, even if money is limited. Government hospitals, emergency clinics, or low-cost public facilities would be important options to consider.

Please seek urgent care immediately if: - You are soaking pads very quickly - Feeling extremely dizzy/faint - Having chest pain or shortness of breath - Passing very large clots - Becoming pale or unable to stand properly

For now: - Drink fluids/ORS - Avoid taking random hormonal medicines without supervision - Visit a low cost/ free if cost healthcare facility as soon as possible.

Final Prescription: - Tab Tranexamic Acid 500 mg three times daily after food for up to 3 days if bleeding is heavy - Tab Iron + Folic Acid once daily after food - ORS/electrolyte fluids and adequate hydration

Advice: You need in-person gynecological evaluation and a CBC/pregnancy test as soon as possible because prolonged bleeding with weakness can become dangerous if untreated.

Feel free to reach out again.

Regards, Dr. Nirav Jain MBBS, D.Fam.Medicine

Bleeding for 35 days with clots, weakness, and feeling like you may collapse can be a sign of severe blood loss/anemia and needs urgent review by a gynecologist/OB-GYN or emergency department as soon as possible. Please do not stay alone; drink fluids, rest, use pads to monitor bleeding, and seek immediate help sooner if you are soaking pads every hour, fainting, having chest pain, severe shortness of breath, or severe abdominal pain. Try to visit a government hospital, community clinic, or low-cost women’s health center near you because this is not safe to ignore, especially after missing periods for months and ongoing heavy bleeding.

Hello

Bleeding for 35 days with blood clots, weakness, and feeling like you may collapse is serious and needs urgent medical attention. You may be losing too much blood and could have significant anemia, which can become dangerous. The fact that you missed periods for 4 months before this suggests a hormonal problem such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, but pregnancy-related problems, miscarriage, fibroids, severe hormonal imbalance, thyroid problems, or other conditions can also cause this type of prolonged bleeding.

Please do not continue taking random medicines without proper medical guidance. You should try to go to an emergency department, government hospital, community clinic, or urgent care center as soon as possible, especially if:

* You feel faint, dizzy, short of breath, or chest pain * You are soaking pads rapidly * Passing large clots repeatedly * Your heart is racing * You become very weak or pale

Until you get care:

* Drink plenty of fluids. * Rest and avoid strenuous activity. * Eat iron-rich foods if possible. * If you can safely take it and are not allergic or pregnant, some people use Ibuprofen with food because it may reduce bleeding somewhat, but this is not enough if bleeding is severe.

You also need a pregnancy test if there is any possibility of pregnancy, because prolonged bleeding can sometimes be related to miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.

Take care

Hello I’m really sorry you’re feeling this way—it sounds exhausting and scary. Having your period for 35 days, sometimes heavy, sometimes light, with blood clots, and stopping/starting again, especially after missing periods for four months, is definitely not normal and needs attention.

What could be happening? - This kind of bleeding can be caused by hormonal imbalances, uterine fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), infections, or sometimes more serious conditions. - Blood clots and feeling weak or like you might collapse could mean you’re losing a lot of blood and might be developing anemia (low blood count).

What you can do right now: - Rest as much as possible. - Stay hydrated: Drink water, juices, and eat foods rich in iron (like spinach, beans, eggs, jaggery). - Avoid strenuous activity: If you feel dizzy or weak, sit or lie down. - Monitor your symptoms: If you feel faint, have chest pain, severe weakness, or the bleeding gets heavier, you need urgent medical help.

Why you need a doctor:
Even though money is tight, this kind of bleeding can be dangerous. If you can, try to visit a government hospital or clinic—they often provide care at low or no cost. You may need a blood test and possibly medication to stop the bleeding and treat the cause.

If you can’t get to a hospital right now:
- Try to get help from a local health worker, nurse, or community clinic. - If you feel like you’re about to faint, have severe pain, or the bleeding is very heavy, please ask someone to help you get medical attention urgently.

Thank you

I’m really concerned about you — this is a medical emergency. Please take this seriously.


🚨 You Need Emergency Care NOW — Not Later

Your symptoms signal a critical situation:

· Period lasting 35 days non-stop · Feeling like you’re going to collapse or die · Blood clots passing · No period for 4 months before this · Feeling faint

This is severe anemia + hemorrhagic shock risk. You can die from blood loss if untreated.


🏥 Go to a Government Hospital Immediately

What They Will Do Cost Emergency admission Free / Minimal IV fluids, blood transfusion if needed Free Ultrasound to find cause Free Medicines to stop bleeding (Tranexamic acid, hormones) Free or very cheap

Government medical college hospitals treat emergencies FREE or at very low cost. Don’t worry about money right now.


🚑 How to Get There

· Call 108 Ambulance — Free nationwide emergency service · Ask a neighbor/friend/family to take you to the nearest District Hospital / Government Medical College Emergency Ward · Don’t drive yourself — you may faint


⛔ Until Help Arrives

· Lie down flat with legs elevated on a pillow · Drink water with a pinch of salt and sugar (ORS if available) · Do NOT stand up suddenly · Do NOT take any more un-prescribed medicines


🔴 Preserve a Clot If Possible

If you pass a large clot, take a photo or carry it in a clean cloth — helps doctors assess severity.


Please, go NOW. This is not something that can wait. Your life is worth more than any bill. Reply once you’re safe, I’ll be here.

Given your symptoms, it’s crucial to prioritize your health and seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if cost is a concern. Prolonged bleeding for 35 days with blood clots, especially coupled with feeling faint, can be indicative of a serious condition that requires prompt evaluation. The underlying causes might range from hormonal imbalances, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), uterine fibroids, or endometrial hyperplasia, to more serious conditions like a bleeding disorder. The feeling faint suggests you might be experiencing anemia due to the blood loss, which further underscores the need for urgent medical care. The fact that your period stopped for four months prior to this bleeding episode is significant too, as it indicates that your menstrual cycle may have been irregular for some time, whether due to stress, weight changes, or potential underlying endocrine disorders. Until you can see a doctor, try to rest and consider maintaining a log of the bleeding, including the volume and any additional symptoms. Also, try to maintain an adequate diet rich in iron and hydrate adequately, although these are just temporary measures and won’t address the root cause. There might be community clinics or programs that offer sliding scale fees or charitable assistance for those in financial difficulty. Look into local health resources, or seek advice from community organizations that might point you towards available help. If you’re feeling particularly unwell or faint, it’s vital to access emergency medical services, as some situations require immediate intervention to prevent complications.

Bleeding for more than a month with clots, dizziness, weakness, and feeling like you may collapse can be a sign of significant blood loss or another serious gynecological problem and needs urgent medical attention. Possible causes include hormonal imbalance, miscarriage/pregnancy-related bleeding, fibroids, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, anemia, or other conditions, and taking medicines without proper evaluation may not stop the bleeding safely. Please try to go to an emergency department, government hospital, women’s clinic, or low-cost community health center as soon as possible—especially if you are soaking pads quickly, passing large clots, having chest pain, fainting, severe weakness, or shortness of breath.
