Q: 40yrs old, having periods every two weeks for 2 mths. last week very light flow 7 days, 2nd week now changing every 2 hrs with very heavy flow.

2 weeks, &amp; 2 hours: This pattern of your menstrual cycle of changing every 2 hours with cycles every two weeks is not normal and can lead to anemia. A GYN MD can solve the problem and seek a solution for you with an exam.
