Heavy bleeding
Hello doctor. My mother is 47. Her periods have come closer together. Last month she had her periods on 21st sept. This month she will have it on 17th October. It has been like this for the past 1.5 years. Also, the first 2 days are very heavy. Some cycles are heavy. Some are light. This is very frustrating. She is losing hair too. Please help.
