Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have been suffering from heavy menstrual flow for the past 1.5 years. Around six months, I had heavy flow with clots. Now, I have been menstruating for the past 20 days continuously with heavy flow and clots. My current medication includes capsule Gynae CVP, tablet Augmentin and capsule Zevit. I am also having a urine infection now. For this, I am drinking plenty of water and other fluid. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You are losing blood heavily. Kindly upload your reports as well. Since you are bleeding for the last 20 days continuously, first we should try to stop this. I suggest tablet Meftaris (combination of Tranexamic acid and Mefenamic acid) one tablet thrice a day for three days and also tablet Regestrone (Norethindrone) 5 mg thrice a day for 5 days. This will certainly control the bleeding. Also, start some Iron preparation if it suits you. By that time send your ultrasound report. It can be a fibroid uterus or abnormal uterine bleeding due to endometrial hyperplasia and need to be followed further. Also get your CBC - complete blood count, coagulation profile and thyroid function tests done. For UTI (urinary tract infection), you are already taking antibiotics. After finishing its course, get a routine urine examination again to see if pus cells are present or not.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
I have attached the ultrasound report for your reference.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I have seen your ultrasound report (attachment removed to protect patient identity).
There is a small fibroid, which is not the cause of heavy bleeding. Do not worry about the simple cyst in the ovary. The inner uterine lining is quite thick and you need to get one endometrial biopsy done from your gynecologist. This will serve two purposes. One it will stop bleeding and the other we can get the sample and send for histopathology to see the type of hyperplasia and this will decide the further line of management. Before test take only tablet Meftaris to reduce the amount of bleeding. Consult your doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent. Another thing is that there is a significant amount of residual urine, which might be causing recurrent UTI. Consult your doctor for a physical evaluation.
