Menses: This depends on how long it has been going on. Are your periods otherwise regular and normal or is this an all the time problem? You need to see your doctor.

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.
