47 years old, dysfunctional uterine bleeding taking medroxyprogesterone acetate tablets, heavy bleeding

Patient's question:

I am 47 years old. In the past three years, my menstrual cycle has been irregular, with heavy flow and long cycles. If I don't take medication, it doesn't stop. I had a D&C with pathology examination, and the result was endometrial hyperplasia. After that, I took a lot of traditional Chinese medicine for regulation, but the effect wasn't very good. In January 2013, the doctor prescribed me to take Mifepristone tablets. For half a year, although my menstrual cycle was long, it would always calm down for a few days. But recently, I have experienced continuous bleeding, and the doctor prescribed me to take Mifepristone tablets again, 8 tablets a day. After taking them for a week, I stopped, and bleeding started the next day, with a very heavy flow and abdominal pain. Today, it has been a week of bleeding, and the amount is still very heavy. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis: Hello! Based on the situation you described, it should be normal. From your current age, it seems you are experiencing ovary dysfunction, and your body is a bit weak. However, treatment is necessary, and it should not be allowed to delay the menstrual period indefinitely.
Advice: Hello! Given your condition, it is recommended that you use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, as it tends to be more effective. You should persist in taking several sets of traditional Chinese medicine.
