Hello and thank you for sharing your question.

In manny cases the cause for heavy periods is unknown, but not dangerous.   But there are other possible causes such as:

• hormonal imbalances
• dysfunction of the ovaries
• uterine fibroids
• polyps
• intrauterine device (IUD)
• medications

There are also other more serious possibilities but these are the most common.  In most cases doctors recommend that you start using a contraceptive such as birth control pills.  These pills give you the necessary hormones needed to have a regular period.  There are also many holistic treatments for heavy periods such as herbal teas.
