I don't know how old you are, that may be a factor. But anytime you bleed for that long there may be a problem. You may have a problem called dysplasia which can become quite serious. Your best bet would be to see a GYN to get an exam and testing. You should never listen to medical advice other than checking with your doctor, since without an exam it is difficult to say what the problem is.

You didn't say your age, your weight, and if you could be pregnant--- sorta important stuff if you are asking a question like this. Tho this is not an entirely unusual length of time, if next month it is also long, and heavy, and the next even more so, you can become anemic, and in days when surgery was not possible, women died of this. Check with your doc. A D and C might cure your problem, the BC might also. Bit tuff to give you good advise with so little info

I'd go to the doctor. It might be from stress, it might be from periodic hormonal changes, like when my cycle changed drastically in the tenth grade. Or it might be something more.
Make sure you're eating right, sleeping enough, taking a vitamin with breakfast - (you do eat breakfast, right? Eating breakfast is what tells your body there's enough food and revs up your metabolism for the day) - but to be on the safe side check in with your RN or doctor. It's probably nothing but depending on your age might need some attention.

No, don't worry. A lot of things can change the length of your period- stress, change in diet, etc. 10 days is not that unusual. I would wait a few more days and see what happens. But I'm sure you're fine.

You should be worried gal and my suggestion is that you need to go and see a doctor. My friend onces had such a case and when she went to the doctor she was told that it is a change in hormones and she was given some drugs to stabalise the condition. All in all people are different and my suggestion is still go and see the doctor

I'm going through the same craziness right now. I went to my doctor to get a pap. I have an iud. I'm waiting for those results. The Doctor said she didnt see anything abnormal. I really think our hormones could get out of whack. I was afraid to go to the doctor. But now that I have I actually feel better. Let me know how things work out for you.

if you are young and still near the end of puberty, its prob fine. your body is still changing, but i would call a doctors office and ask to talk to the nurse for some really good advice.
now, if you are older (like me), i would go get that checked out. it might be a sign of something bad....
either way, call a doctor or ask you mom. moms always know.

That much blood loss can be very dangerous, depending on how heavy your period is. I recommend finding an OB/GYN immediately to make sure it's not anything serious like cervical cancer or some other lesion or infection.

If you are bleeding alot, then yes, please worry about it and go in and get checked. Even if you are spotting at all, and that is abnormal for you, I would recommend getting checked out to make sure everything is ok. We, as women, should protect our reproductive systems, and when they malfunction, there are people there to help us out. Your friendly OBGYN could easily lay your worries to rest. Please call and get in, and if you can't get in soon, so see the family doc, or the er.
