NSAIDs (ibuprofen) and tranexamic acid are both treatment options for abnormal and heavy menstrual bleeding, particularly for women <40. They are used individually, tranexamic acid does not treat pain, but no interactions occur if taken together. Other options include hormones and surgery is last resort. A work up typically includes blood work and a pelvis ultrasound to determine the exact cause

Your doctor can prescribed you pills that would limit your period to once a year address the menstruation related symptoms.
