What to do if your cycle just won’t stop?

Okay so I have PCOS and I haven’t had my time of the month in 2 years. Well I finally got it again on Easter this year. the first few days it wasn’t flowing down. Last Wednesday it started flowing and hasn’t stopped since it has now been ten days and counting. (Today makes 11 days. It isn’t flowing heavily but it’s still flowing and seems to be picking back up.) Every time I think it’s going to stop it starts to flow again heavily. Then it slows up and almost goes away. Then when I go to the bathroom to use it, it’s coming down again. Should I go to the doctor or give it a few more days to see if it will stop on its own?

Are there any non medication routes to get it to stop?
