Hi,

Menstrual irregularities including heavy bleeding can happen in patients with PCOS. As a first like management you can take drugs like Tranexemic acid to control bleeding. If symptoms persist better to consult a gynecologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
