Brief Answer:
Histopathological diagnosis is mandatory
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, so no histopathological examination of the endometrial tissue was done???
Ideally in your case, Histopathological examination of the endometrial tissue is mandatory in order to rule out hyperplasia or carcinoma.
Heavy bleeding during the periods can be due to hormonal disturbances in endometrial lining, endometrial hyperplasia or carcinoma.
If the bleeding is not getting controlled by primolut, then a repeat ultrasound to assess the endometrial thickness and endometrial biopsy for histopathological diagnosis should be necessarily done.
In the meantime, you can take tranexemic acid tablets two to three times a day to decrease the flow of bleeding in the periods.
Hope you found the answer helpful.Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.

i was told not to take that ... as it affects the mirina ?
Brief Answer:
Mirena should ideally be removed if giving no relief
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, if you are not relieved by Mirena and primolut, then ideally Mirena should be removed, before proceeding to further management.
Mirena contains levonorgestrel which interacts with tranexemic acid and increases the risk of thromboembolism, hence not recommended to be used together.
You should discuss these points with your treating gynecologist, so that appropriate treatment can be done

ok .... do you know why this is gappening ? . i cant find anything on line
Brief Answer:
Excessive estrogen exposure
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, Heavy bleeding in periods can be due to hormonal disturbances, endometrial pathologies like dysfunctional uterine bleeding, endometrial hyperplasia or carcinoma.
These conditions arise due to excessive estrogen hormone exposure to the endometrium. Excessive estrogen hormone exposure can occur due to increased hormonal levels in the body in polycystic ovarian disease, chronic anovulation, estrogen secreting ovarian tumours or can be idiopathic( in which no cause is found).
The treatment for dysfunctional uterine bleeding and endometrial hyperplasia is progesterone support by primolut or medroxyprogesterone acetate.

no its been consently non stop
Brief Answer:
Not recommended
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
Giving continuous primolut is not recommended in any endometrial or uterine pathology, and that too for four months at one go.
You should not have any bleeding if you have been on continuous dose of primolut.
Heavy bleeding even on primolut is a very strong indication for doing an endometrial biopsy for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
