I am experiencing abnormal vaginal bleeding and cramping. I am 58 years old, post-menopausal, and have been diagnosed with uterine fibroids. The bleeding started on February 14, 2023, and has been heavy, requiring frequent changes of pads or tampons. I am currently taking norethindrone, but the bleeding seems to be getting heavier. What should I do to stop the bleeding and the cramping?
