Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Please get the following work up done -
Internal Gynec exam and Pap smear.
Pelvic ultrasound scan.
TSH, BP record, Blood sugar checks.
That should reveal the reason for the heavy bleeding.
It could be fibroids, polyp, ovaries, cysts or thickening of the lining of the uterus .
You can take tranexamic acid to stop the bleeding after consulting your doctor.
All the best.
Please feel free to discuss further.
