Painful menstruations (dysmenorrhea) may not be taken very seriously but prolonged menstruations (menorrhagia) should be taken seriously and require medical evaluation to find out the cause. A combination of painful, irregular, and prolonged menstruations could indicate the presence of infection, a genital tumor, or endometriosis…, so it definitely needs medical attention from a gynecologist and not by a GP.
