What causes abnormally long or heavy periods, and how is it treated?

[angiebulavong]

I have been having my period for more than 3 weeks and I feel completely fine no cramps no pain what so ever but I’m still worried

[melaphiney]

I genuinely can not imagine what it’d be like to have a normal period...

Never ask health related questions on the internet. The answers will always revert back to "consult your doctor" or your basically gonna die in 3days... I know because Google said I'd die Lol

I'm also suffer from prolonged menstruation. It's never stop one month until two months. I didn't have such a cramp or period pain. I have blood clot on my menstruation. This really freaking me out. Sometimes just a little, sometime it's heavy. I feels anxious, worry... All started when I'm 31. Sometime it's suddenly stop and I stop wearing pad. After that when I go to toilet, I suddenly see the blood on underwear. I was really disappointed. I thought there is something wrong with me. This make me so stress, sad, frightening and anxious. I even don't know when the heck is my ovulation time. I even can't answer the doctor when they ask me about when is my first day period.. I've been married for 7 years and still have no child. I do the best and try to conceive but unfortunately my miss V always bloody hell. So how can I make the baby? For all women in this world who have such a problems, I pray may we found the way that really can solve it. Only women knows. Stay strong♥

I have a similar situation, I had my tubes tied after having my triplets through c section in February 2018. My period came two weeks late in December of last year. I noticed I have been bleeding large blood clots, heavy flow and heavy flow in urine. My cramps has been driving me insane and I have change pads whenever I have a restroom break. I’m guessing it’s a sign of menopause since I’ll be 41 in June. I’m also thinking it’s Menorrhagia. I plan to go to the emergency room soon since our local gynecologist offices are booked until April and May.

I've always had painful cramps mainly for the first 2 day, not much blood and lasting 6-7 days. This time the first day was even worse than normal pain, spreading to my back and I've noticed bleeding is heavier. I had an ultrasound at the start of the year and apparently everything was normal and there were no growths. I actually feel a little hesitant about going to the doctor because I don't just want to get offered stronger pain killers again. I'm recently 18, could it be hormonal change?

I was kind of surprised that she didn’t mention PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)? It can contribute to long cycles/heavy bleeding.

I'm 39 and I don't want periods anymore because its irritation for me . I can't wait when I don't have it anymore. Just had my period end on a Monday but feels going to start soon. Feeling gassy not liking that .

Omggg I swear I hate periods I’ve had myn for literally 3 weeks and now I’ve started agin it’s getting on my nerves 😫😫

[hails_m]

I've been off of birth control for years. I've always had off periods. Where they last 3-4 days that are light Or 7-8 that are heavy. Now I'm having two week periods. Which is just odd to me. A lot of bleeding and clots. I've constantly having headaches. But my cramps haven't been painful. All my doctor says is I'm overweight. I'm so tired of never getting answers just because I am overweight. 🤦

I am on a advanced swim team and I have practice every day and meets 2 times a week. I also have this championship I couldn’t attend because of my period. I missed almost two weeks of practice also. I hate periods so much it’s ruining my life

I’ve been on Loette 28 in around 4 months now to help my period a little. And my period started 4 days early this time. I’ve been bleeding heavy in 6 days now, and usually i bleed heavy in around 3 days, and a little less bleeding the last 3 days of my period. But now i bleed heavy on the 6th day. 😧 My period lasts 6 days. But now the heavy period last 6 days.. what should i do if it’s like that tomorrow as well?

11 months after I was born once my mum got her period back, every 30 minutes she had to change her pad/tampon. She told me that she had to get surgery and now she has no blood or spotting on her periods. Thank you for the explanation because I was curious about how it started and whether it was from having a c-section to birth me

[xozzz]

I got my period when i was 14 in june and it was lasting 5 days till august. I got it twice in a month and when school started it was lasting 15+ dqys and it once started in december and it ended in february for six days then started again and its still lasting. I may had like 4 days somewhere in march that i didn't have and it didn't stop since then..i went to the doctors but the don't know shit

[Eand]

I just started mine in January, and it usually lasts for a week but last time it was for 2 weeks and same with this time (17 days) and its still going but I think its about to end. I just turned 13 last week if that's helps with anything

[kokolores.]

I'm on day 22 and so annoyed but my doc said everythings fine. He's male, would like to see him bleed for that time...

I in 2020 I got my period in February and didn’t stop. Huge and I mean huge clots for months. In April they told me to wait it out. Gave me iron pills and nothing stopped it. Finally in August I was so weak they agreed to give me surgery to stop the bleeding. Told me it was hormones that caused it. And that was the end of it.

Now after the birth of my daughter I’m bleeding heavily again. It’s been since January and it hasn’t stopped!! And I have no idea why this keeps happening. The pain is so bad and it makes me sooo tired.

I’m only 13 and having my period for 1-3 months!!!! I’m worried and I’m overweight with low iron. I don’t know if my iron levels has to do with it but I’m not liking the time schedule 😔
