Question 1

essesive menstrual bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It sounds like you have that?  I'm not sure what the question is.  If you've had it all your 'adult' life, then it's just you.  If you've become much a heavier bleeder than normal that may be due to weight (body fat) gain or a change in diet or hormone therapy.
