Hi,
Such heavy bleeding at age of 47 can be due premenopausal changes. You should get internally checked up to exclude certain conditions common at this age and be prepared to stand such irregular profuse or scanty periods for couple of years till menopause sets in. Please don't forget to use contraceptive devise to exclude accidental pregnancy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
