Hi, I think it can be perimenopausal symptom. But do a thyroid profile and prolactin level and a ultrasound to see the uterus and ovaries to find out any other cause of irregular periods. Sometimes it can happen due to stress also. So, you can take some medicines like tranexamic acid to stop the bleeding. Consult a gynecologist for complete examination and to rule out any cervical pathology. Hope it helps.
