Hi. You should go for a gyne check up and get a scan done to see the cause of this heavy bleeding. It is abnormal uterine bleeding which may be due to hormonal imbalance or endometrial hyperplasia occuring or some other reason. For the time being, you may take some haemostatics like Tranexamic acid.
Thanks.
