Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Consult a gynecologist to look for serious reasons for painless metrorrhagia that may include uterus related issues, and understand the seriousness of amount of blood lost. Often if no serious issues found, your doctor may start you on hormonal pills to regularize the menses.

Feel free to write back if any further clarification required.
