What Causes Heavy And Prolonged Periods?
I am 51 years old. Been having reg periods until this month. I was really light for 3 days, was really heavy for 11 days and have tapered off a little today (more like regular. Should I be concerned or is this normal, the closet you get to menopause?

Hello,
As per your history and age, it may be a pre menopause symptom. Or can be due to hormonal imbalance. Kindly see your gynecologist if this condition continues for more than 3 cycles. You may require further investigations like blood hemogram and USG.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
