Period
I am 17 years old and I have a heavy flow. My period is starting to hurt really bad when I pee and the blood clots that come out are huge. Is there something wrong with me. I know my mom has endometriosis she thinks I might have it.

It would be worth going to the ob/gyn and getting an ultrasound to look for fibroids, but both fibroids and endometriosis are pretty unusual in someone your age. Try Advil (or Nuprin) to see if that eases the cramping.
