I'm 45 years old and in the last year or so I have been experiencing irregularity with my periods. Last October I had a heavy flow and the doctor advised me to have a D&C since my endometrum lining was unusually thick, about 17.5 cm. After the D&C I was regular for 3 months and then last month I skipped my period. This month my period has returned but I'm bleeding excessively. What is the matter with me?

Because this has happened not long after your operation, it is very important that you go back and see your doctor as there could be a number of reasons for this and they would need to look into it for you.
