Hi,
Please get one ultrasound scan of the pelvis now. It is not a good sign to have prolonged and heavy periods, especially for such a long time.
Tranexamic acid is only a temporary measure. It is not going to treat the cause.
Ultrasound will help in identifying the cause and you could go ahead with the right treatment. A transvaginal ultrasound is more specific.
It may be a fibroid again.
Get evaluated at the earliest.
Hope this helps.
