Hi, I think the treatment can stop the bleeding but the main problem is that whenever you stop taking medicines, it can happen again. As your age is premenopausal, you can observe for few months more and see if the bleeding stops on its own . Otherwise you have to continue taking the treatment. Get a thyroid profile and prolactin level done. If your bleeding is very heavy and is not controlled on Medicines, better to go for a surgery if family is com0lete. Hope I have answered your question..
