Ovulatory/anatomic: Many ovulatory problems or anatomic problems such as fibroids/polyps can cause increased frequency of bleeding, but not endometriosis. Ask your doctor about the frequent bleeding, these can be diagnosed and treated. If doctor does not help you, find a new one. If doctor tells you it's because of endometriosis, get a new one.

Many Things: Endometriosis usually does not affect your periods in any way so that should not be the cause. Hormonal disorders are a common cause (pcos, thryoid disease, high prolactin levels), etc. Some medications can cause that. Polyps, fibroids and adenomyosis of the uterus can also cause that. You probably should have a full evaluation especially if you are having pain with the bleeding abnormality.
