Hello,
Uterine bleeding at irregular intervals, particularly between the expected menstrual periods. is called Metrorrhagia in medical language .It can be due to variety of causes like hormonal imbalance , endometriosis, DUB , uterine fibroids, Polyp ,malignancy ,to name a few .In my opinion you need a Pelvic examination to assess the condition of the cervix and investigations like TVS Ultrasound for further evaluation .
