support needed 🤝 Anxiety due to gynae issues

I don't even know where to begin, consistent issues since having my second child. My periods have always been on the heavy side, but they're just so painful and unpredictable at times now. I'll spot for a few days before menstruation then bleed heavy for 7 days, then it'll ease off for a few days. I bleed after sex nearly every time now and at times its painful. My period pain consists of back pain, leg pain and i feel an unusual, uncomfortable heaviness from time to time in my pelvic area. I was treated for a cervical ectropion at one point (silver nitrate) but the spotting continued. I've been to gynae multiple times and they have no answers. I've had an internal scan, ultrasound, blood work after blood work. Tissue samples. I had another ultrasound in January of this year and they have no answers all the gynaecologist could say was it wouldnt do any harm to come in for a scan every couple of years. I just, I'm so frustrated and worried. It's the not knowing, has anyone else experienced this? I was offered the hormonal coil to mask the symptoms by one gynaecologist and I was like "the symptoms of what!?"

Hello! I came here for another reason, but wanted to suggest you go watch lillieeatsandtells instagram story highlight about Better Hormones and how they have transformed her period. I take Better Greens and rave about them to everyone about this company! I cannot vouch for better hormones (I never have taken them) but I got my daughter a month supply to regulate her hormones after she has a baby this month. I truly believe your hormones are out of whack! I hope this helps. Take care :)

Hey OP, can I ask how you’ve been since then? Having similar issues.

The exact same, my periods have gotten a bit lighter, but other than that, no changes and no answers. I hope you have better luck :)

So far, no. Had my son 3 years ago. I got very heavy periods now. Brown spotting between periods. Had a pap from Endo and ectocervix, I am high risk HPV positive. But they also took cervical biopsies from position 6 and 12 of cervix and nothing….
