Heavy mestrual flow.: You need to see a gyn. You may have another cause of bleeding other than menstruation. You will need to be examined, have some blood work taken for hormone levels and have an ultrasound of your uterus to see if your bleeding is due to fibroids. If you have them, there are both surgical and non-surgical options to end that problem. As you are anemic, you should see your gyn as soon as possible.
