Recently on one of the health websites where I am privileged to be an expert on Menopause, www.wellsphere.com, a member raised a question about bleeding for over a month solid. Of perimenopausal age, she was understandably worried. Most of us think of menopause as a time of skipping or diminishing periods until they cease altogether. Because this question comes up frequently and because it was the case in my perimenopausal transition, I m reprinting my answer to her for all concerned goddesses.

Dear Liz.
I have been trying to find the answer you wrote to a member asking whether prolonged bleeding is dangerous or normal. i have been bleeding on and off for forty three days. During this time, I had one week of excessively heavy bleeding with cramps. The last two weeks of the 43 days are just light spotting, just enough to need a napkin, no cramps. i have also noticed that my ankles are slightly swollen, and I have hot flashes. I am 53 years old, have always had very regular, but heavy periods. Please advise.
