Hi I have been suffering from heavy periods so my doctor sent me for ultra sound. During the scan the sonographer asked if I have had surgery, I'm unsure why she would I was sterilised 13 years ago would that be what she was on about or could there be something else?

    You most likely have scar tissue due to the sterilization. Don't worry. Nothing major. Did they tell you if you have fibroids that are causing your heavy bleeding

      That's good then :-) no they never said anything apart from that but then I never asked questions either. They send report to doctors next week if there's anything I need to know.

      They really do, had them most my life but it gets embarrassing when you leak through tampons and your in public :-( some people don't realise how much it affects you.

      I can sympathise with you there! Tampons and double pads for me for two days every month. Daren't leave the house. Very draining and causes me anaemia. I have small 3cm fibroid and mutliple smaller,

      I completely sympathise with you. For 2-3 days im like that. I take tranexamic acid pills. Or as I call them slow the flow pills. They are a life changer.
