Hi,
Increased bleeding is called menorrhagia. The causes of excessive bleeding are many. I.e, fibroid, increased endometrial proliferation or hyperplasia, endonetrial cancer, cervical cancer.
If no cause is found out, it's called dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
What i suggest is, get one pap smear to rule out cervical cancer.
If that turns out to be normal too, will have to start you on hormonal therapy.
