My 13 year old daughter started her periods recently. They seemed quite normal for the first 3 months but then the bleeding just did not stop. After a few weeks, we went to the doctors, who prescribed tranexamic acid. That seemed to help for a few days but then the bleeding started again. The doctor has now prescribed the pill for her but after 2 weeks now, it is still having no effect on the bleeding.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this?

This could be related to a hormone imbalance or something like endometriosis (I started having symptoms of endometriosis when I was 16, and one of the symptoms of it-before I knew it was endometriosis-was heavy bleeding at the time of my period).
Ask your daughter's doctor to refer her to a gynecologist if they haven't already. Most gynecologists see patients starting as young as 12 and 13 years old. The gynecologist can try to help figure out what could be causing the problem.
