I have been going through the menopause since last year. My periods used to be every 50 days, sometimes even 60. Now they come every 15 days, with heavy bleeding. Do I have to get scraping done to my uterus? Would that be better?

This often happens - a phase of light periods on a long cycle is interspersed with a phase of heavy periods on a short cycle.

Your doctor can give you a progesterone-based medication to stop the heavy bleeds, or you can try Agnus castus (a herbal remedy which isn't as strong as the doctor's medication).

It's unlikely that you would need an ablation (scrape) - this is just your hormones having a wobble, prior to calming down again.
