1. The treatment of heavy menstrual flow varies according to age and according to your age [48 years], symptom wise approach is as follow:
. First send the patient for Endometrial curettage and biopsy to rule out malignancy.
. If Biopsy is normal, advise hormone Therapy [pills] for 3 to 4 cycles. But if bleeding is not controlled, refer for hysterectomy [removal of uterus]
. check with baseline investigations like: Hb%, WBC, Bleeding disorder profile, Serum Thyroid
