Brief Answer:
Fibroid is likely reason

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

Fibroid is the most likely cause of menorrhagia and pain abdomen in this patient.

Remove the IUCD and start tranexamic acid. If the menorrhagia continues, better to do Laparoscopic myomectomy ( fibroid removal). Myomectomy will also cause decrease in pain abdomen.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Brief Answer:
Fibroid is not treated

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I guess you are a doctor who is trying to treat a patient with menorrhagia.

Above treatment you have mentioned was prophylactic antibiotic administration with antacid and pain killers for removal of IUCD only.

This treatment for fibroid is mainly surgical and not medical. Meanwhile you can give pt. Tranexamic acid (brand name Pause MF) 500 MG 3 times a day for 5 days.

If not controlled you can give injection proluton Depot 500 mg stat. Alternatively you can put patient on progesterone protocol.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Regards
