At what point is excessive menstrual bleeding a concern? I am a 48 year female, have had a tubal ligation 28 years ago. I generally have regular menstrual cycles and bleeding for 4-6 days. I began bleeding at the end of January, thought it was my normal period for February just a little early. Went through period as normal; however did not stop bleeding. Bleeding was much less significant than normal, but required constant use of a tampon. About now would be my normal period, I am bleeding excessively....Going through a super tampon and a maxi pad about every 2 hours. I have attempted to reach to physician to get in multiple times with no success so figured I would try this as I wait. Thank you for any insight you can offer me.
