I am a 40 yr old women with normally heavy periods. Recently I have had a couple of uterine polyps removed(1.5 yrs ago) and still waiting to have one more removed. I am wondering if this could have an effect on my period. I have noticed that in the last 6 mos. or so, that they start out heavy but like a tap being turned off, stops. Most times it restarts with a vengence. But my last one was only heavy for maybe 2.5 days then stopped completely, but very painful when it was heavy. Any ideas out there? thankyou
