hi dear,
the history told suggest that you are suffering from dysfunctinal uterine bleeding. Endometrial hyperplasia needs to be taken care of especially at your age.regestron is a type of progesteron which works agaist hyperplasia. usully it is given for 6 mnths but if no response and you continue to have symptoms associated with hyperplsia, you can go for removal of uterus. But, there are other treatments available in form of inj and intrauterine devices which can be tried before proceeding to final step
