Core Tip	Uterine fibroid tumors are the most common gynecologic causes for menorrhagia. Tranexamic acid is a safe non-hormonal medication that significantly reduces abnormal menstrual bleeding. We conducted a systematic review of the contemporary evidence on the administration and efficacy of tranexamic acid in patients with menorrhagia associated with fibroid tumors of the uterus. Antifibrinolytic treatment may reduce blood loss perioperatively in myomectomies, and reduce menorrhagia in patients with fibroids. More double randomized studies with larger numbers of participants are necessary to reach more precise and safe conclusions.
