Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

Alterations in hormonal levels can lead to menstrual irregularities,
Estrogen and progesterone are the hormones which maintain the regular cycles,
because of many factors like stress and strain, sudden weight gain or loss etc can affect hypothalamo pituitary ovarian axis leading to menstrual irregularities.
hypothyroidism sometimes leads to prolonged and heavy bleeding.

-presence of uterine fibroids can also lead to prolonged and heavy bleeding.

so, you visit local gynecologist and get ultrasound done which will rule out local pathology,
then you can take tablets for stoppage of bleeding.
if same thing repeats in the next cycles also you have to go for hormonal evaluation like estrogen, progesterone, LH, FSH, prolactin etc, which will possibly find out abnormality in higher centers like hypothalamo pituitary axis.

hope this helps you.

Regards
