Hello,
You are probably nearing menopause and at that time the periods get very irregular. The prolonged bleeding however could cause anemia so you probably need to see your doctor for a blood test. They have medications to stop the bleeding if needed.
Since you have been bleeding heavily for 11 days I would try to see a doctor in the next day or two for an exam and some blood tests
Regards
