OBGYN, Maternal and Fetal Medicine,  's  Response
Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Heavy or prolonged menstrual period is known as menorrhagia. It can be due to :
1. Hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism
2. Local pathology in uterus like fibroid, adenomyosis
3. Local lesions in cervix or vagina including cervical cancer
4. Deranged coagulation profile.
5. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding which is hormonal disturbances in endometrial lining.
I would suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated including hormonal profile, ultrasound, pap smear, coagulation profile, and endometrial biopsy, if needed. Further management should be done accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
