The doctor i saw is a locum and will be here for a month as our local doctors is away , and i found it hard to understand him . My problem is i have very heavy periods not always on time , we jump from 20 days to 28 days ,
and bleed for 7 to 14 days with colts and pain . My normal doctor put me on a tablet i was to take on day 21 for 3 days which would help me with the heavy side. but on day 21day my period came so i did not take it . and that was 9days ago and im still with period .

Brief Answer:
medical treatment with hormones and anti - fibrino
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Usually in perimenopausal period some amount of fluctuation in the hormonal levels is common.
And that can lead to irregular periods.
You didn't mention which tablets your doctor recommend to you.
To control the bleeding you have to take combination of anti - fibrinolytic drugs and hormonal pills with your doctor's advice.
Bicornuate uterus itself may not be responsible for the menorrhagia. If there is any associated endometrial abnormalities in ultrasound, better to go for D&C once.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer followup queries. If you are satisfied with the answer, please give your review at the end of the discussion.
Take care.
