Excessive bleeding can be due to many causes and you should see a gynecologist. Start taking oral iron and multivitamins to prevent anemia from blood loss. Consult this site. http://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/menstruation/conditioninfo/Pages/causes.aspx Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

Prolonged bleeding with clots in a sexually inactive female may be caused by delayed ovulation with prolonged estrogen stimulation of the uterine lining with breakdown of the endometrial cells, or fibroid tumors, polyps . See your gyn physician for an exam and further testing (ultrasound).
