Hi,
You mother may be going through the peri menopausal period or it could be a pathology.Get a ultrasound done.If there is no pathology then its definitely DUB.Hormones can help control the bleeding.See a doctor about the medicines if scan is normal.Meanwhile she can take any painkillers to help with the pain.
