Hi,
I have been having issues with my menstrual cycle this month and I want to start praying more seriously for an end to these issues. My specific issue is that I am bleeding very heavily. Which saint is the patron of these health issues? Thanks and God bless!
 
St Lucy for hemorrhage.
Also St Veronica who according to legend was the woman cured of a hemorrhage by Jesus.
St Maurice and St Elmo for cramps.
For general health issues, St Raphael and St Padre Pio.
 
Hi Tis…I just have to ask…do you know these off the top of your head or do you have to look them up?:smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I AM amazed at how many Catholics can rattle off Saints and their patronage! It shows years of study to do so. I’m just curious!
Thanks.
 
Some I know, some I have to google.
I do a saint devotion that requires me to look up a lot of saints. I have to add about one saint a day. Once you get past about the first 6 or 8 months, you’ve exhausted all the familiar, popular saints and have to hunt down more obscure saints. I am currently past 400 saints so I have made the acquaintance of a lot of them in the last year.

Is it know how many Saints there are? I realize that there may be more that are unknown but what is the official Vatican number…just curious, again.
 
Praying is great, but I’m surprised no one has yet said, go get checked by a doctor. Do so!
 
Yes! See a GYN for a full evaluation. I dealt with and was treated for very heavy bleeding issues for several years before I finally had to have a hysterectomy. At the time I was determined that I would not have one but the reality was that it was the only solution in my case and I was reaching the end of my child bearing years.

One of my good friends was also dealing with this and feared a hysterectomy was going to be needed. In her case, she did not have to have one. So, treatment and outcomes can vary as each of us are unique. I really wanted to keep my uterus but I also wanted to live without anemia, fibroids and pain.

There are treatments and options. Discuss with a GYN and good luck to you!👍
 
Wow, that’s a lot. I guess in relation to the number of Catholics it isn’t but it’s still a very large number!

I assume the football team isn’t among the numbers 😂😂😂
