Hi, I think it can be perimenopausal symptom. But do check your thyroid profile and prolactin levels. Also do a ultrasound to see uterus and ovaries. If everything is fine, you can take some medicines like Tranexamic acid to stop the bleeding. Discuss with your doctor regarding this. Hope I have answered your question.
