HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, even after taking the medicine for stop the bleeding and it is not responding then it is time to see the underlying cause of heavy uterine bleeding, of course it can be due to menopause but it can not be taken as granted, so better to get done the ultrasonography test and bleeding time clotting time, platelet count just to rule out the bleeding disorders hope this information helps.
