Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the menorrhagia is related to side effect of prednisolone and not in concern with fibroadenoma. My guidelines would be:
- Stop prednisolone immediately
- Discuss the need of tranexamic acid with ethamsylate to control the excess bleeding and prevent anemia development
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
