The cause is probably menopause. There's no known cure, other than time.
In the meantime, treat the symptoms as needed. An ablation is a
drug-free way to end the bleeding, but if she's near/in menopause, she
may not want to undergo a (minor) surgical procedure.

This is of course assuming that she's seen a doctor and all other causes
of menorrhagia have been eliminated.

Female, age 47, experiencing heavy menstrual flow being treated with CYKLOKAPRON It seems to me that this is a rather nasty drug to be taking which seems to treat the effect, rather than the cause. Any help with respect to this drug and/or alternative treatments or courses of investigation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
