Dr. Bryan Treacy answered

Specializes in Gynecology

Further evaluation: In a situation such as this, when hormonal treatments fail to control bleeding, further evaluation is needed and usually involves ultrasound and possibly hysteroscopy with d&c. There are other medical treatments available as well but further workup seems indicated in this type of situation.
