Perimenopause?: May be perimenopause or the early start of menopause. would consult with gyn or pcp who did pap smear for further instructions

Hormonal imbalance: Consult this site. http://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/menstruation/conditioninfo/Pages/causes.aspx Your symptoms may be due to menopausal state, however, it is imperative to see your gynecologist. PAP smear is not a sufficient test for abnormal bleeding. Wish you good health!
