Yes, it could be. : If you lose more blood during the period than your bone marrow creates between the period, you eventually become anemic. Yes, you should see a gynecologist or obstetrician/gynecologist because there are different reasons why a person could be having heavy periods.

Menorrhagia: you have heavy periods if for a long time then you have to make certain that you have not blood disorders or just normal for your family members. Anyway you need a complete gyn visit to ascertain that asap. It is definitely urgent to rule out any serious problem as you are in childbearing age. GOOD LUCK.
