You could be going through your menopause.  My Mum was 45 when she got very heavy periods at a time.  Eventually she only got them after months at a time, but very bad, painful ones for about two years.  Then one day she started bleeding constantly for about 12 days.  We were obviously worried so she her womb was tested.  She was fine.  THe doc done a monopause/hormone count thing and it came back saying she was close to her memopause.  Ask your doc to do this count thing.  It will let you know how close you may be, if at all, to your menopause.

Hope this helped.

It could be a couple things, anything from benign cysts on your ovaries to possble cancer. Mind you im not a doctor, dont let me scare you, im just guessing here. At 45 you are at a higher risk for something like ovarian cancer, non stop bleeding is a symptom...but it could be a symptom of something else to. Check yourself to see if you have lower back and frontal abdominal cramping. Naseaua vomiting? I would go to your gyno and insist on deep pap smear and ultrasound. Tell your gyno that your worried and want some answers, now. If they refuse go to another gyno. Be firm and insist. The squeaky wheel always get the oil. Good luck and keep us updated!
