Hello,
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is commonly caused due to hormonal problems, peri-menopausal phase, thyroid issues etc. Other medical conditions that cause dysfunctional bleeding are uterine cysts, polyps, fibroid, endometriosis or cancer.
Primolut may not be able to control the bleeding for a long time, get diagnosed & treated. However, presently you are suggested to continue taking your prescribed medications. Visit a gynecologist & get clinically assessed & examined. Get Imaging test & USG done to detect the factor causing the discomfort.
Your treatment will depend upon the severity of the bleeding & pathology detected. Your treating doctor will treat you with medications or recommend surgery. Get treated at the earliest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
