Gushes of blood?: I don't know what you mean by gushes of blood. If you are hemorrhaging - then you need to be evaluated emergently.

Agree with Dr. F: Profuse bleeding needs to be evaluated urgently. Start taking oral iron and multivitamins to prevent anemia from excessive blood loss. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
