Hello ma'am and welcome.

The cause for your irregular bleeding is most probably the kidney transplants you underwent which can very often lead to menstrual irrejgularities and also at times cause problems with fertility.

Tranexamic acid is a medication used to stop bleeding, so please take it, it is safe and will help to reduce/stop the bleeding.

Hope this helps.

Take care.
