What Is The Cause For Heavy Flow During Periods?

I m a little concerned with my menstrual cycle lately. I m 43, I normally have a somewhat heavy flow, however, in the past year it s gotten heavier and more inconsistent. April 1, I got my period, it was extremely heavy. I soaked through my sheets and mattress, and had to change tampons about every hour for 3 days. I just got another period April 13, it s still very heavy. I m having to wear a maxi pad along with using Super tampons, and need to change every hour. I ve also noticed some mild pain inside of the vaginal wall, mainly when I put in a new tampon. And there s some pressure in that area while I just sit. I m overly tired, but that could just be life!
