Has anyone ever had a really long period?

Question

My period has been going pretty heavy for about 2 months? Has anyone else had one last really long like this? If so, what did the problem turn out to be?

Answer 1

Go to the doctor! It depends so much on how old you are and what kind of health issues you have.
I had a period for almost a year! My doctor put me on estrogen replacement therapy and I bled for a month, stopped for 2-3 days, and bled again. I went back several times to have my meds adjusted and I still bled. I was anemic, and exhausted and cranky all the time. I thought I was going to have to get a hysterectomy to stop. I had hundreds of fibroid cysts, and the meds were supposed to be breaking them up. I was scheduled for a hysterectomy and I quit taking my meds. Then I quit having periods altogether, and haven't had one since--4 years ago. I didn't have a hysterectomy either. Changed doctors, too.

Answer 2

I have never heard of a woman having a period for 2 months ! Should only be for 4-7 days !
Mine are 7 days long.
You really should see a doc just to be sure !!

Answer 3

Go see a doctor right away. It may not be your period, you could just be profusely bleeding from your vaginal area. This could be caused by a more serious problem.

Mine is running a little long this month, but only by two days.

Answer 4

If you have had normal periods before this could be the sign of a serious problem. If they are always that long you probably need to take b.c. pills or something similar to help regulate your cycle.

Answer 5

I have this problem so I have to take birthcontrol pills to regulate mine.

Answer 6

Yes, It was stress for the finals.

Answer 7

you better go and check by doctor
