Can miscarriage cause heavy bleeding for 12 days?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am 30 years old. I am married five years back and no kids. I got periods on 20th June, and it is still continuing. Today is the 12th day. I am having heavy bleeding with big clots (for the last seven days). I am feeling so tired because of heavy bleeding and back pain also. What should I do? I am taking Trapic 500 mg. I took 6 tablets totally but I am still bleeding with small clots.

Hello,

I would like to ask for some additional information. When was your previous period before the one that started on 20th June? Is there a history of sexual activity during your previous cycle?

Take Trapic (Tranxemic acid) 500 mg thrice daily instead of twice daily for two more days. If the Trapic is not working you should be started on Progesterone to stop the heavy flow. I would recommend you also to get a scan done once the flow reduces, as it will show you the cause of heavy bleeding and also be a baseline scan to help you conceive.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

During periods, it is not possible to do a transvaginal scan which is more accurate and reliable to see any pathology than a transabdominal scan. Also, if you are worried about it being an early pregnancy loss, doing a pregnancy test is easier and convenient, taking into account the Corona situation which makes hospital visits difficult (it remains positive even if you are bleeding). Trapic tablet acts slowly and takes time to reduce the bleeding but is very safe.
