See your doctor: Menorrhagia is the most common type of abnormal uterine bleeding characterized by heavy and prolonged menstrual bleeding. There are several possible causes of menorrhagia including: Adenomyosis
Uterine fibroids
Infection, tumors, or polyps
PID
Rather than your very recent BTL being the cause of the bleeding, it is more likely to be because of one of the above. You need an ultrasound + examination
