Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The patient has menometrorrhagia, which is excessive and prolonged menstrual bleeding. Iron supplementation is important to prevent anemia due to blood loss. Prostaglandin inhibitors can help reduce menstrual bleeding. Other options like OCP or progestin may be used in the future if the bleeding persists or worsens, but for now, iron supplementation and prostaglandin inhibitors are the best initial management. Referral to a pediatric gynecologist may be considered if the bleeding does not improve with initial management.
