Hi,
Thanks for the query.
You once consult gynecologist and get examined to find out the possible cause for the bleeding.
Take medicines to stop the bleeding first.
The if there is any local cause for the bleeding let it be treated.
If the bleeding was only due to hormonal imbalance, then you have to go for hormonal pills for few months to regularize the periods.
For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429
Take care.
