I’m 29, STD free, history of abnormal paps, irregular & heavy periods, not currently on bc, never diagnosed with fibroids or cysts, have had one biopsy after precanerous cells showed up on a pap, it was normal. I haven’t had a normal period in over a year. In the past 3 months I’ve bled almost constantly.

Menstrual Periods At Irregular Intervals (Metrorrhagia)
Irregular menstrual periods (metrorrhagia) can be due to benign growths in the cervix, such as cervical polyps. The cause of these growths is usually not known. Metrorrhagia can also be caused by infections of the uterus (endometritis) and birth control pills (oral contraceptives). Sometimes after an evaluation, a woman’s doctor might determine that her metrorrhagia does not have an identifiable cause and that further evaluation is not necessary at that time.
Heavy prolonged bleeding needs to be evaluated by your doctor. There might be something going on that only they can fix; you might need a D&C or maybe get put temporarily on the pill or soemthing. Constant bleeding is NOT a good sign. Get seen NOW.
It sounds like a possible case of endometriosis. Are your periods painful? Either way you should go see your gynecologist.
