Hi, I think it can be a premenopausal symptom. But do a urine pregnancy test if you are sexually active to rule out pregnancy. If negative, you can take pause 3 times per day along with high dose of progesterone to stop the bleeding. Consult a gynecologist for pelvic examination to rule out any cervical pathology. Get a thyroid profile and prolactin level and a ultrasound done to see if there is any other cause of heavy bleeding. Hope it helps.
