What Causes Heavy And Prolonged Period?

Hi I had my last regualr period in May... I did not have another one until the beginning of August which was very light which is odd for me... brownish colored... some red. At the end of August (two Tuesdays ago) it came back and was the same very light for about a week. Last Tuesday it became heavy and is still going on now two weeks with large blood clots.... any help?

Hi,
Prolonged periods can cause heavy bleeding when you gets periods after missed periods.
First you need to know cause of irregular periods. Low hemoglobin , thyroid problems or polycystic ovaries can cause irregular periods. I suggest you visit a gynecologist and get investigations done to rule out cause.
Until you get appointment with gynecologist I suggest you visit a primary doctor if you are having heavy bleeding. Doctor would advice tranexamic acid to reduce amount of bleeding.
Thank you.
