Excessive menstrual bleeding
My mother has suffered excessive menstrual bleeding (changing 1 sanitary napkin in less than an hour) for 7+ days before around 15 days and now she's got her menses again yesterday with the same heavy bleeding. Is it perimenopausal or there could be some other reason for it?

It's mostly due to perimenopause age, but it's better to get her evaluated with hormone tests and sonography and also start her with medications to stop so much bleeding
