Why won't my period stop?

Question

My period arrived after a couple of months of not having it, and now it won't stop. It's been 8 days and it is still going strong. Help!

Answer 1

It's possible that a hormone imbalance could be going on or something like an infection. The only way to know for sure is to have this evaluated by your dr to see what they think could be causing the problem. In the mean time try increasing the amount of iron you take in by eating things like spinach, raisins, and peanut butter (if not allergic to peanuts of course) to see if that helps ease some of your flow til you can see the dr.
