First, call your gynecologist or primary care physician who oversees your care for sickle cell anemia. Report what has and is happening. Do it now.
Depending upon your doctor's recommendation, go to the emergency room or urgent care clinic nearest your home.
As you know, sickle cell anemia is a serious disorder in which the body makes sickle-shaped red blood cells. “Sickle-shaped” means that the red blood cells are shaped like a crescent. Sickle cells contain abnormal hemoglobin called sickle hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.
Heavy bleeding with abdominal pain for 10 days is serious and you must be evaluated as soon as possible.
