Hi,
Problems with ovarian or thyroid gland hormones can cause such bleeding. It can be assessed by estimating blood levels of these hormones. MRI / CT scan can provide interior of the abdomen and glands / uterus to give guide lines for diagnosis. Knowing exact cause would help in specific management of problem and relief.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
