General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to perimenopause.
Perimenopause can make your once-regular periods suddenly irregular.
Before perimenopause, your estrogen and progesterone levels rise and fall in a consistent pattern during your menstrual cycle.
When you're in perimenopause, hormone changes become more erratic. This can lead to unpredictable bleeding pattern.
There is nothing to be worried.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
