Actually it's really not that odd. You've been pretty lucky for it to only last 4 days, but if you are worried, I would give it a day or two and if it doesn't stop check with your doctor.

If you're not using hormonal birth control, it might be expected. Every once in a while the body has extra stress, extra hormones, etc., and your period might fluctuate longer or shorter than "expected." Also, remember that women's bodies change throughout our lifetimes, so just because you've "always" had a 4-day period, you may get a longer one as you get older.
As long as you're not having to change your tampon or pad every 1-2 hours because of heavy bleeding, it probably is nothing to worry about. If however, it extends past 10 days, I'd make an appointment with your doc and make sure everything is ok.

i would say its probably nothing to worry about it. the length of a period varies from one motnh to the next.
if you are genuinly worried then go see the doctor. he can certainly put your mind at ease.

Has there been any change in your diet or exercise routine? Stressed out? Medication? Injury?
