What Is The Reason Of Having 11 Day Periods At The Age Of 48?
I am turning 48 tomorrow. I have always had regular periods, every 28 days for about 5 days at length. I am now on my 11th day and wondering what is going on. It was heavier in the beginning, as usual, has llightened up, but just is not going away. Any thoughts?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The excessive bleeding and the prolonged duration of bleeding in perimenopausal age group is commonly due to hormonal imbalance causing a dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
