Brief Answer:
Most likely to be hormonal imbalance.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
At 47, she is about to enter the phase of menopause.
Hence, there are many hormonal disturbances and changes, which lead to irregular bleeding and spotting.
This is the most probable reason for her issue.
Sometimes, there might be other conditions causing this - such as a fibroid, cyst, thickening of the lining of the uterus etc.
Please let me know a few details.
Since how long is she facing these problems ?
Were her cycles regular otherwise ?
Have you consulted a doctor and gone for any tests or investigations ?
What is her height and weight ?
IS she diabetic, hypertensive , or having any other medical issue ?
PLease mention these details so that I can guide you for further treatment.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care.
