Hello,
irregular menstrual cycle is typical from ages 45-55 during menopause. It could be related to this. The periods you do have may be more significant in amount due to the irregularity over time period of months. This can also be the first indication that there is a problem with the lining of your uterus called the endometrium. Because your ongoing period and the time frame this has been going on, consider seeking medical attention from obGyn or family doctor and having vaginal exam and/or transvaginal ultrasound to evaluate the uterus and rule out any concerning pathology like masses or cancers.
