Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
As you are having occult bleeding in between your periods, excessive bleeding during periods & diagnosed thickened endometrium,there is need of hysteroscopic guided endometrial biopsy to rule out any uterine abnormality.
Secondly if you are feeling lethargic it can be due to anemia or hypothyroidism,
so get your TSH & free T4 level done,there can be requirement of eltroxin dose readjustment.
For anemia you can take iron tablet in night if taking eltroxin in morning to avoid drug interaction.
For constipation you can take some stool softener like duphalac, but it is necessary to take iron to improve anemia.
Mind block, loss of alertness before periods can be due to premenstrual syndrome that can be improved by Yoga & meditation.
I hope your query has been answered. I will be available for your further queries.
Regards,
Dr Monika Choudhary
