It's been a month since you posted so I really hope that by now you have seen a doctor to be sure it's nothing serious. Even if it's not as bad as before.

Prolonged constant bleeding is something to be taken very seriously. There are many possible causes and only a doctor can run the tests necessary to diagnose what is causing this.

I hope you take my advice, I'm no doctor but my bachelor's degree was with an emphasis on human sexuality and my senior year (2003) I was part of a team of writers for a Human Sexuality Info Website.
