Cycle That Won’t Stop

Question

Please help me to understand this. If a woman’s cycle is ongoing (doesn’t stop) keeps flowing for months or years, how does she regain purity? How can she ever take a mikveh? In ancient times, would a sacrificial offering be required even if the bleeding never stops?

Thank you for your help in this matter.

    Such a person would not be able to become ritually pure if the bleeding did not stop long enough for her follow all the laws of purity and to immerse in the Mikveh. Nowadays, such a person would go immediately to her gynecologist to be treated, because it is a sign that something is wrong.
