I just found out my BFF was in ICU over night after being rushed in the ambulance to the Reedsburg hospital. Turns out she was extremely anemic and she lost a lot of blood during her cycle. She ended up getting 3 pints of blood and the doctors are talking about doing a hysterectomy so she doesn't have that problem again. My husband's cousin died when she was a teenager from losing too much blood during her cycle. By the time they took her to the hospital it was too late for her. It was very sad.

I been through this & a hysterectomy (partial at the least) is the only fix. I had my cycle for no less than 20 out of every 30 days & had blood transfusions many many times (at least 25 times) in the last 6 yrs due to this. I have the cycles regulated with daily meds now, but cant afford the time off work for surgery. I hope your friend is in a better situation than i am & is able to get the surgery. I have the worst pain for at least a week every month due to it & i wouldnt wish that on anyone. IF she isnt able, they also have a surgical fix where they burn the edges of the uterus to seal them shut, problem with that is it has to be done again every few yrs, but only takes about a week or less healing time vs' hysterectomy healing time of 8-12 weeks off work etc... Best of luck to your friend!
