General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello. Yes, your symptoms do seem to be menopause related. Irregular menstruation does happen during the premenopausal period. If there is bleeding after a period of no bleeding for about 6-12 months, then we need to be worried. However, if the bleeding is too much and you have started feeling weak due to the blood loss and your hemoglobin has dropped significantly, then you need see your gynecologist who may suggest a course of hormonal pills, and if they fail - surgery. You also need to be on the iron supplements if the bleeding has brought down your hemoglobin a lot. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Dr Geeta
