Hi, I think you should take some medicines like Tranexamic acid to reduce the flow. It can happen sometimes due to stress also. If you are sexually active, do a urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. It can happen due to infections also. Consult a gynecologist. You may need some antibiotics. Hope I have answered your question.
