Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 26 and have extended and continuous menstrual cycles for the last 6 months or so, medium bleeding but includes occasional blood clots about the side of an egg. My doctor has placed me on Megestrol last week but had a clot again today. Should I be concerned? what else should I do? I sometimes feel shaky but not sure if it s related.
Hello dear I understand your concern Prolonged menstrual bleeding could be due to the hormonal imbalance, endometriosis, polyp, endometrial dysplasia. I would suggest to consult the experience gynecologist and undergo vaginal examination, reproductive hormone analysis, endometrial biopsy/colposcopy/pap smear to rule out the causes. Specific treatment will depend on the cause Progesterone pill and tranexamic acid will help you If bleedings still continue then progesterone shot and D& C is the treatment. Take healthy diet with iron supplements Maintain proper pelvic hygiene. Hope this may help you Best regards Dr. Sagar
