What Causes Extremely Heavy Periods?

Today, day two of my menstrual cycle blood suddenly began running down my legs even tho I was wearing a tampon. Seven hours later I am still having a extremely heavy flow, filling four super plus tampons in a couple hours. I have never had a period this heavy before. Ever.

Hi there thanks for posting your query at Hcm
This is a serious problem
YOU CANNOT JUST IGNORE
Go to your gynoecologist immediately
In the mean time take Tranarest (Tranexemic acid 500mg) twice daily to stop bleeding
Otherwise you may develop anemia
Take care
