Hi, I think you should go for evaluation first. Get a thyroid profile and prolactin level and a ultrasound to see the uterus and ovaries to find out the cause of irregular periods. If any abnormality is found, it can be treated. She can take some medicines like tranexamic acid to stop the bleeding. If it doesn't work, she may need a high dose of progesterone to stop the bleeding. If bleeding is not controlled by medicines, you can go for a hysterectomy.

Hi, I think she should be evaluated by a gynecologist. Get a pelvic examination done to rule out any cervical pathology. Also do a thyroid profile and prolactin level and a ultrasound to see the uterus and ovaries to find out the cause of irregular periods. If anything is abnormal, it can be treated. She can take some medicines like tranexamic acid to stop the bleeding. If it doesn't work, she can take some hormonal treatment also. But if medical management is ineffective, you can go for a hysterectomy. Hope it helps.
