Hi, I think you should go for evaluation first. Get a thyroid profile and prolactin level and a ultrasound done to see uterus and ovaries to find out the cause of heavy bleeding. If anything is abnormal, it can be treated. It can be due to some thyroid disorder or uterine or ovarian pathology. You may need hormones to stop the bleeding. Hope it helps.
