General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Prolonged bleeding happening repeatedly what you are experiencing despite taking medication needs to be evaluated.
It could be due to 'Dysfunctional uterine bleeding' (DUB) caused by changes in hormone levels. For this you need to check your Serum FSH, LH and prolactin levels.
The other cause could be due to endometrial hyperplasia or fibroid in uterus. To know about this, you need to get an ultrasound abdomen done.
Kindly get the above two investigations done and consult Gynecologist for appropriate management.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
All the best.
