Need advice please
TMI maybe TW
So growing up my mother never cared to take me to a gynecologist when I was having bad cramps and extremely heavy flows. Now as a 26 year old I had to learn years later that it was from endometriosis and having PCOS. (Little story)
I went 3 to 4 months without a period. I had my first spotting period in March and it honestly made me so happy as that meant no trip to the gynecologist. Well here I am nearing the end of April having spotted the first 3 weeks of the month and on Friday the gates of hell opened and I have flood every pad I wear either within 30 minutes to 2 to 3 hours which is hard with being at work. The other thing that really worries me are the big clots I am getting and the flow gets heavier to where I am dripping blood. Like I am so scared the last time this happened which was nearly 4 years ago is that I collapsed at work and couldn't see to get back up to walk or move and my parents had to rush me to the ER as between the bleeding and the pain I was about to black out (at that point it was my first period in over a year so a bit more severe)
My question is with being anemic and losing this blood (I get gagged by and feel dizzy when I see lots of blood coming from my body after a traumatic accident) really messes with me as I am having increased dizziness and light headedness.
Should I call my gynecologist tomorrow to get an appointment for this issue? If so do I just flat out tell the secretary the issue?
