Many causes: It is not feasible to provide a definitive answer without a proper history, examination and perhaps lab tests. Please consult your doctor and see this site for information on the topic. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/menorrhagia/ds00394.

U Have Choices: Abnormal periods need evaluation; sonogram, lab tests. Non-surgical options include: birth control pills. Lysteda (non-hormonal rx taken during period), Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud. Minimally invasive options: endometrial ablation (in-office), hysteroscopy polyp removal or fibroid resection; and only if these treatments fail then consider hysterectomy - vaginal or laparoscopic if possible.
