Hi,

At 41 years of age, the bleeding you have could be due to:
- Functional uterine hemorrhage
- Uterine infection (doubt due to foul smelling bleeding
- Early menopause (in case yo had 1st menses at about 10-11 years.)
You need to be examined and investigated to find exact cause and have a cause specific treatment. Please consult a gynecologist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
