Brief Answer:
age related changes

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concerns.

There will be some age related changes in hormones as well as uterine surface volume.

This often leads to excessive duration and increased flow in some women in you age group.

This is absolutely fine and there is nothing to worry about.
