Hello dear
Understand your concern
Also note that
Menstruation required co ordinate action of various hormone that secreted by ovary (estrogen and progesterone) and brain (FSH and LH).
If any above hormone is decreased or increased there is imbalance in menstruation

Following are the cause of unusual bleeding:
1. Hormonal imbalance
2. Dysfunction of ovary
3. Uterine fibroid
4. Adenomyosis
5.Rare: cancer of ovary, uterus, cervix
6. Thyroid problem, endometriosis
7. Stress
8. Excessive weight loss/gain
9. Pelvic inflammatory disease

So I think yous should consult doctor.
Do the following test
1. Blood test: FSH, LH, Estrogen, progesterone, HCG, Thyroid hormone, ESR, CBC, Blood clotting abnormality
2. Pelvic examination
3. PAP smear
4. USG

Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. SAGAR
