Hi,
When bleeding occurs for a long period than it is usually occurs as in your case then there are a few possible causes. The most common is hormone imbalance. PCOS is one of the causes of hormonal imbalance. While some causes may be easy to treat, others can indicate a serious underlying condition. Whether you notice spotting or heavier bleeding in between periods, it’s important to see your doctor for testing, diagnosis, and treatment options.
Other potential causes of bleeding between periods include a growth in the uterus or cervix, stress, change in medications, miscarriage, vaginal dryness.
Your doctor will also likely give you a physical exam, including a pelvic exam. Diagnostic tests can help your doctor find the cause of the bleeding. Your doctor may draw blood to check hormone levels. Then the right treatment can be recommended.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us every time.
Wish you a good health.
Regards,
