Irregular bleeding: This can be due to anatomic causes such as uterine fibroids, endometrial polyps, and other. Or it can be due to hormonal causes such has hypothyroidism, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and other. Bleeding this much is not normal, and you should be seen by a doctor soon.

Menses: There are many causes for bleeding from the uterus. The uterus normally bleeds in response to hormones that fluctuate during the cycle. When bleeding occurs continuously it can be a disruption of the hormonal control, a mass within the uterus or pregnancy. On rare occasions it can also be associated with a bleeding disorder. An evaluation with a doctor is suggested.
