A 53-year-old woman has been experiencing abnormal periods for the last 8 months, including a recent episode of heavy bleeding from 2/3/23 to 2/25/23 with large clots. Her hemoglobin was 7.1 at urgent care, and after receiving a pint of blood and iron tablets, it improved to 8.5 two weeks later. She has high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes but no family history of cancer or recent weight loss or pelvic pain. Is this abnormal bleeding indicative of cancer?

It comes pretty regularly. I had unprotected sex, but he did not ejaculate inside me. What could be the cause of these symptoms and what should I do?
