Question: I am a 42 yr.old over weight female. For the last 6-9 months I have had 11 - 14 days of menstruation, 14 days off & then back on again. What I want to know is this a "Middleage" sign or could there be something I need to check out. Thank you.
Answer: Certainly, this could be a sign of menopause, but there are other significant conditions that could cause this excessive bleeding. You need to see a gynecologist for an exam soon. Depending on the findings, there are many treatment options now available to make your life better.
