Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Abnormal heavy bleeding can be due to hormonal or non hormonal changes in the uterus.
Tranexemic acid is the first line of treatment to decrease the menstrual blood flow.
If the bleeding is not controlled by the tranexemic acid, then you should take oral contraceptive pills as advised. They are nevert given as first line treatment except in puberty menorrhagia.
Hope you found the answer helpful .
Wishing you good health.
