Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am,
Thanks for asking your question at hcm.
I can understand your concerns.
There are hormonal changes occur during menopause and estrogen level decreases and period can be irregular but to be safer side you should consult a Gynecologist and get yourself examined to rule out the other causes of prolonged bleeding like polyp, atrophic vaginitis and endometrial carcinoma( very rare).
Hope found useful, feel free to discuss more information.
Good luck.
