Brief Answer:
It is better to get evaluation by gynecologist

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is better to get a pelvic ultrasound to see if there is a structural cause like fibroid, pregnancy etc. These conditions require gynecologist consultation and surgery etc. Do you have any medical condition or any other symptoms? After ultrasound is normal, you can take Tranexa 500 mg three times a day until the bleeding stops or maximum 5 days.

Hope this helps.
