Frequent Periods: Frequent bleeding can be due to anovulatory bleeding which can be caused by a number of facotors includign stressors and metabolic disease (diabetes, pcos, etc.). Thyroid disease can also increase the frequency of bleeding.

Lots of options: You will need to see your obgyn for an exam and testing. Depending on your age and fertility plans there are lots of treatment options. Birth control pills can regulate your cycle. Mirena (levonorgestrel) iuds can minimize your periods. Lysteda is a great new hormone free drug used to stop heavy periods. If you are done with pregnancies ask if you are a candidate for an endometrial ablation.
