The 'explain analyse' don't return a result, but it returns the query
plan and importance details, how PG works.

That's why you should paste the query and the 'explain analyse' -
output. This is very important.

Anyway, do you periodical vacuum your DB? My guess: no, and that's why
you have many dead rows.
