 Hello,
Very abnormal cycles, increased or decreased bleeding patterns and clots are common in your age range, which could be a symptom of perimenopause. It is not alarming but you should have it checked out if it continues to cause you to worry. Your doctor may want to do hormone evaluation, endometrial analysis, etc. It is possible you could benefit from treatment but getting a good diagnosis is important. In the meantime, keep a log of your symptoms, cycle dates and details. Annual pelvic exams are important with your gynecologist.
Best wishes.
