HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, these medications can be used to stop bleeding. If you are still bleeding, the dose (if not at the maximum dose) or the time you use the medication, may need to be adjusted.
Though the bleeding would limit physical examination, you can still have imaging of the genital tract with an ultrasound or CT scan.
One of these imaging techniques would be able to determine if there is a structural cause.
In addition, there are blood tests that can be done as well for reproductive hormones.
I hope this helps
