Hello,
Thanks for letting us know your health concern. Considering your age, it is more likely that your symptoms can be related to perimenopause. Yet, I would ask you to have a proper assessment along with a trans-vaginal/pelvic sonogram, hormone assay, blood counts and urinalysis. Styptics should be used to control the spotting along with a course of progestogen. Once stabilized, you can get a pap smear. Further management can be planned accordingly. Wish you good health.
