    Hi furryc,

    It is possibly hormone related, such as perimenopause, but there are other possible causes for heavy bleeding. Have you asked your doctor about it? Your doctor should be able to determine a cause and discuss options with you. Sometimes hormone therapy may be used, sometimes a procedure may be necessary, sometimes it is just part of getting older until you actually go through menopause.
