I've been bleeding heavily for a month now and I am going through the menopause. What should I do?

This is a common scenario on the approach to the menopause and can continue for some time before your periods finally stop.

However, frequent/heavy periods are not good for you and can cause anaemia which in turn can cause fatigue, low mood, poor sleep etc.

If this continues it is best to see your doctor. Some women find the herb Agnus castus helpful for this as it is traditionally used to help restore a proper monthly cycle.
