Hello,
It is probably the breakthrough bleeding and you could bleed for two weeks and there is no way to control it.
As you are under treatment from a gynecologist, thus she must have taken due consideration in taking up your case history, thus remain under her regular supervision and observation, as to how to proceed further, I at most can let you know about the symptom wise approach:
- Check with TVS [trans vaginal sonography] and pap smear test.
- Check your Hb%, WBC, Bleeding disorder profile, Thyroid Function Test.
Regarding your present complaint of heavy bleeding, you can take medicine like Tranexamic acid, 3 times a day for 3 to 5 days and If it does not work, you can take a high dose of progesterone to stop the bleeding after consulting with your Gynecologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
