See your doctor: Menorrhagia can be caused by a number of issues. Some of these issues can be dangerous. Issues such as cervical cancer and endometrial cancer can present with heavy or irregular bleeding. Often the cause is not cancer but may be other benign disease that needs to be addressed such as infections, fibroids, polyps, or ovarian dysfunction.

See your GYN: Menorrhagia/Heavy Menstrual Bleeding is any period bleeding that leads to soaking a pad/tampon more than every 2hrs, interferes w/ daily activities, or lasts >7days. There are many causes: fibroids, polyp, hormonal imbalance (TSH/Prog/Estr), adenomyosis, bleeding disorders and cancer. Get checked out. Taking progesterone (pills/IUD) can help to thin the uterine lining so you don't bleed as much.
