Suggest Treatment For Heavy Vaginal Bleeding

Hi. Spent all day in a&e. My niece who is 19 has been bleeding for 40 days. Last nite she had very bad pain in her abdomen, so bad she collapsed. She was sent to a&e and had a letter stating it was gynae issue. An internal scan was done and the lining of her womb is very thin and that one of her ovaries is measuring 16cm and it should b 25cm. She was told to come back in 10 day but was given no pain relief, nothing. What is ur opinion?

Specific treatment for menorrhagia is based on a number of factors, including:

Your overall health and medical history
The cause and severity of the condition
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures or therapies
The likelihood that your periods will become less heavy soon
Your future childbearing plans
Effects of the condition on your lifestyle
Your opinion or personal preference
Tranexamic acid. Tranexamic acid (Lysteda) helps reduce menstrual blood loss and only needs to be taken at the time of the bleeding.
Oral contraceptives. Aside from providing birth control, oral contraceptives can help regulate menstrual cycles and reduce episodes of excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding.
Oral progesterone. When taken for 10 or more days of each menstrual cycle, the hormone progesterone can help correct hormone imbalance and reduce menorrhagia.
The hormonal IUD (Mirena). This intrauterine device releases a type of progestin called levonorgestrel, which makes the uterine lining thin and decreases menstrual blood flow and cramping.
