What Causes Heavy Menstrual Flow With Big Clots In It?

I have been spotting and clotting for about a month now. I have clots that are bigger than a half dollar which are coming more and more as time passes by. My menstrual flow is also bright red/orange in color. I have had quite a few days where there has been a gush of fluid that is almost likened unto my water breaking when I had my children. When this happens I clean up and nearly pass up afterwards. I also have been feeling the urge to push, which is strangely odd. I have not been sexually active in almost two years, so I know I am not pregnant. I just turned 40 in December. I am concerned mainly because of the color, though the large clotting and the gushing of blood that almost feels like I peed my pants is a little concerning, as well. There is so much blood it flows down both my legs to my feet.
Any ideas on what can cause this, and if I should be overly concerned?
