Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about the massive menstrual bedding and the lengthy nature. It is clearly abnormal and needs to be investigated. I will suggest that you meet with your OBGYN to get the possible causes of excessive and lengthy bleeding investigated. Some of them include fibroids, polyps, etc. If nothing is found, then measures would be taken to correct that.. Excessive bleeding can lead to low blood volume, shock, anemia and eve death that I will strongly discourage you from trying to manage all by yourself. The pain medications are okay but remember they do not solve the cause and reason why you still need to see a doctor.

I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for using our services and please feel free to ask for clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
