I am 49 years old. Last several months, I have noticed that in every other menstrual cycle, I bleed heavier than usual and have major cramps in my genital area. Almost feels like contractions/spasms - not the normal cramp. My cycles have changed where I now have one every other month. And about every other cycle is very painful. Are the extra cramps part of early menopause? My pap smear was normal. Thank you!
