Hi I think you can try some hormonal treatment like GnRH analogues or progestin or combination of oestrogen and progesterone. If it doesn't work, you can go for a surgery like myomectomy or hysterectomy if you don't want pregnancy. You can take some medicines like tranexamic acid to stop the bleeding during periods. Hope it helps.
