What Causes Excessive Menstrual Bleeding For A Long Duration?
Question: Last time my wife missed her period this month it as already been 10 days yet the period has not stopped ,any help would be helpful
Brief Answer:
tablet tranexemic acid advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir, thanks for trusting health care magic.
It is common to bleed excessively after a long duration of missed periods.
In case her pregnancy test was negative then just give her tablet tranexemic acid 500 mg thrice a day till three days or longer in case bleeding persists.
But if bleeding occurs for more than 5 days then get a transvaginal ultrasound at the earliest to see for the cause of bleeding.
In case you have any questions about it, I will be glad to help.
