Resolved question:
I am 28 years old with 2 kids, they are 9 and 8 years old one was born by C section the other naturally.
For a very long time. Have had irregular periods but they getting more odd I been bleeding consternation for 10 weeks sometimes only spotting.
I have been getting sharp pains in my lower side. For quite some time I been aware that I had a small lump on the end of my cervix however I am now aware that there are multiple Llangefni lumps.
I have always thought that there were cyists so didn't query about them, but now I am not so sure.
What do you think?

Hello,
Thanks for writing to DoctorSpring.com with your health concern.
Could you please upload the ultrasound scan or the reports which have diagnosed these multiple lumps ?
Also, are you sure there is no spelling error in the query ?
' Llangefni ' lumps are unheard of.
You should definitely investigate irregular cycles, particularly the episode of bleeding constantly for 10 weeks, even if it is only spotting.
The possibilities could be PCOS - polycystic ovarian syndrome.
In this condition, the ovary is studded with multiple small cysts, none of them mature to form a follicle which ovulates, hence cycles are irregular and ovulation is unpredictable.
Also, endometrial hyperplasia ( thickening of the lining of the uterus ) leads to irregular cycles, with prolonged spotting, as the lining takes a long time to completely shed off.
Hypothyroidism or prolactin level alterations can lead to irregular cycles.
Ovarian cysts could be responsible, or there could be a polyp in the cervix or protruding from the uterus.
Sometimes, stress, tensions, weight gain, ingestion of medications that affect the hormonal axis, changes in diet or sleep patterns - these could be responsible, but since your irregular cycles are chronic, I think there is a basic underlying disorder.
You should consult a Gynecologist and have -
1. Internal check up - per vaginum and per speculum
2. Hormonal measurements - FSH, LH, TSH, Prolactin, OGTT, Lipid profile, DHEAS, free testosterone, fasting insulin
3. Pelvic ultrasound scan.
This much of a workup will definitely reveal the condition.
All the best.
Please feel free to ask for further clarifications.
