You : You should be evaluated by your doctor for menorrhagia (heavy or prolonged period). The causes of menorrhagia include but are not limited to: dysfunction of the ovaries. Uterine fibroids polyps adenomyosis. Intrauterine device (iud) ectopic pregnancy cancer some blood coagulation disorders certain medications (blood thinners) your primary care provider or gyn will evaluate you and perform examination and possible pelvic ultrasound, and a treatment plan can be established, which may include birth control pills to regulate your cycle. Best of luck.
