I'm 17 and i've been on my period for 18-19 days. it started off light and now it's gotten heavier. i haven't had sex in a year. why is this?

See doctor: Please see a gynecologist ASAP; the reason for such a long period is unclear at this point, but the bleeding needs to be stopped before you become anemic. They may prescribe birth control pills to stop bleeding or another method; please see your doctor immediately
