How to control continuous abnormal vaginal bleeding?

Question

Hi doctor,

My wife is 45 years old. Since last month, she has had continuous abnormal vaginal bleeding. She has been prescribed by doctor Deviry 10 mg twice a day. Even after one week of medication, no improvement has been seen. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I totally understand your situation.

If the bleeding has not responded to Deviry (Medroxy progesterone), then I would suggest you take her to the hospital and get her admitted. She would need some blood work done to see her blood parameter, also would require injectable Progesterone in addition to Tranexamic acid (blood clotting medicines). If that also does not help, then she would require injectable estrogen. Meanwhile, the ultrasonography and blood work should give an indication as to why this sudden non-stop bleeding occurred. Do not leave it undiagnosed as bleeding so heavily in that age group is not a good sign and might be due to an underlying serious issue.
