welcome to HCM,
severe acute bleeding with pain in a non pregnant women has to be investigated.
investigations include
HB levels,Trans Vaginal Ultra Sound, TSH, Complete Blood Count, platelet count, prothrombin time, activated partial thrombplastin time (aPTT), platelet function analysis

if Heamoglobin level is lower than 10 and there is active bleeding. admission is indicated
some patients may even need blood transfusion.and injections for preventing further bleeding D&C may be required.
hope this finds useful
