Brief Answer:
DUB, needs evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I went through your query and understood your concerns.
With history of Continous bleeding for more than 2 months Defenitely reduces your haemoglobin levels, because of that tiredness and heaviness in leg. First sholud take iron and frolic acid supplements to correct Hb level, Food rich in iron contents.
You are in peri menopausal stage, hormonal changes are very common at this stage. Most common cause for this type of presentation in my patients is DUB (dysfunctional uterine bleeding) . Which is very common in peri menopausal age.
But it's better to rule out other causes like endometrial cancer or over growth which do present with similar complaints and common at peri menopausal age.
So its better to consult gynaecologist to get evaluated . Early detection of disease better out come in treatment. So better not to waste time and get examined.
Hope I answered your query. Feel free to ask further related query.
