According to the data you reported, you might be experiencing menometrorrhagia. Menometrorrhagia is a prolonged or excessive uterine bleeding which occurs irregularly and more frequently than normal. There are several possible causes for menometrorrhagia, including: hormonal imbalance, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids.


You might want to visit your gynecologist for laboratory hormone tests and a pelvic exam. Depending on the results, adequate treatment might be recommended.
