Heavy periods: You doctor may want to check for anemia (a blood test). If you are not anemic, then the bleeding is not a problem in regards to losing too much blood. If you are anemia or simply are tired of long periods, you should discuss a birth control pill to limit or stop the periods if this is something you're willing to consider.
