There is definitely a problem. Heavy and prolonged menstrual bleeding is called menorrhagia. This condition is caused by hormonal imbalance, dysfunction of the ovaries, uterine fibroids, polyps, and adenomyosis, which occurs when glands from the endometrium become embedded in the uterine muscle.
Untreated, you are at risk for developing iron deficiency anemia.
