What Causes Severe Vaginal Bleeding While On Norethisterone?

Question: I've been bleeding for over 1month now and finally got a doctors appointment, they prescribed Norethisterone 5mg 3 times a day and I have been taking for 10 days now, at first the bleeding reduced and was much lighter, for the last 3 days it has become heavier with clots and I am really worried as the tablets are making me depressed and I'm rly worried, my health otherwise is rly good but this has rly given me such low esteem and I can't afford to feel like this as I run my own business and am neglecting work as I'm constantly worrying about why this is happening. My doctors have not been very helpful and not sent me for any blood tests or scans which I feel the uk nhs rly is failing and no interest in patients anymore. pls can you give me some positive advise which will give me a bit of peace of mind. Much appreciated.
Brief Answer:
D & C advised
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Heavy uncontrolled bleeding at this age group is most likely due to hormonal changes.
In this scenario, you should get a D & C done to relieve bleeding and send the sample for histopathological examination.
The diagnosis should be confirmed and further management should be done accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
