What Causes Prolonged Menstrual Bleeding?

I started my period 12 year ago. I only get it every other month. Sometimes It doesn t come for 3 or 4 months(sometimes more) I didn t have my period for a while and I just got it on the 22nd (or the 21st) I don t remember. And today is my 8th day with it. I m still bleeding. It s not pink like spotting or brown like the blood at the end of your period. It s red like it was for my entire period. There s not a lot of blood, but I m still worried. Is this normal

Consult with a gynecologist for further evaluation.
