Answer:

I am sorry you are experiencing this. Please follow up with your doctor to have an evaluation on the possible cause. This could be due to fibroids (benign tumors in the uterus). It could also be due to hormonal issues, thyroid problems, or an infection. Please have your Pap smear done if not done earlier.
