Suggest Treatment For Prolonged And Heavy Periods

I'm 32 years old. I've been having regular cycle every 23 days but I've been bleeding for 7 days then getting heavy flow for 2-3 more days then period finally stopping at day 10-12. I have also noticed that sometimes my skin gets irritated around my vagina, during all the bleeding. I'm assuming it is a sort of chapping due to all the bleeding. This has been going on for the past six months. PMS symptoms and cramping happen with the heavier flow. I went to my OB/GYN who only did a iron test and said I was normal. I assured her this wasn't normal for me, she told me to come back when my periods where less than 21 days apart. I had a baby one year ago, I'm not on birth control of any kind and was diagnosed with Post partum depression, but have been symptom free for two months and I am no longer taking medication. I was only on medication for a total of three months.
