Hi welcome to health care magic...
You have not mentioned your age..
Around 45 year age menstruation become somewhat irregular and gradually menstruation stops...
But you are having heavy periods, so kindly get your physical and pelvic examination...
Investigate with USG and peripheral speculum examination done....
If needed PAP smear done...
If PAP shows endometrial cells than curratage needed
Check hormonal profile also
Take care
Advise : Gynecologist consultation for examination and further work up
