Mild Bleeding

  • Iron supplementation
  • Ibuprofen
    • For cramps and can theoretically decreases intra-uterine bleeding

=Moderate continued bleeding

  • Hormonal Therapy:
  • Medroxyprogesterone
    • Give only if endocervical curettage/endometrial biopsy does not need to be performed (young patient) or has already been performed, as they may alter test results
    • 150mg IM x 1 then 20mg PO Q8hrs x 3 days
    • In a trial of 48 patients all had cessation in 5 days.[1]

Life Threatening

  • Establish large bore IV access
  • Prepare for emergent blood transfusion uncrossmatched O-negative blood if typed blood is not available.
  • It is possible to temporize bleeding w/ intravaginal packing with kerlix soaked in with thrombin
  • If bleeding is due to a traumatic cause emergent surgical repair is necessary
  • Tranexamic acid [2]
    • Coordinate with OBGYN prior to administration due to the increased thrombotic risk
    • Acutely 10 mg/kg IV, max dose of 600 mg[3]
    • Then 1-1.5 g TID PO for 5 days
