Why Do I Have Prolonged Menstrual Bleeding?

Why my period lasting for too long

1 Answer
Dr. Himali Patel

Gynecologist/Obstetrician

Answered on 24th Sept '24

Is your period lasting too long? If it's over 7 days, hormonal changes could be the cause. Stress, poor diet, and health issues can also play a role. Heavy bleeding and feeling tired are common signs. Eating nutritious foods, managing stress, and getting proper rest may help regulate your cycle. However, if the issue persists, it's important to see a gynecologist for personalized advice.

Is My Partner Protected from Pregnancy After Having Unprotected Sex at the End of Her Period, Taking an Emergency Contraceptive Pill, and Experiencing Side Effects?

Female | 20

Taking emergency contraception i pill within the given timeframe reduces the risk of pregnancy, but it's not 100% effective. Withdrawal bleeding after taking the pill is a positive sign, but side effects like nausea and headache can occur. If the symptoms worsen she should see a doctor.

I'm experiencing old blood (black in colour)during my period from the first day to the fourth day(today)and the flow is same.Also it's the first time this has happened. I'm not bleeding fresh blood, which is concerning. What should I do?Typically, I bleed old blood only on the first day of my period, and by the night of the first day, I start to bleed fresh blood. However, this time, that's not the case, and it's now my fourth day, with only a small amount of old blood compared to my previous menstrual cycles

Female | 24

Old blood appears darke­r in color. It's normal, but concerning if it's new or freque­nt. Stress, hormones might cause this. Note­ it down. If it persists, consult a doctor. Being worried is unde­rstandable. Lingering old blood during periods isn't unusual. Howe­ver, monitor such occurrences. Take­ advice from healthcare provide­rs if the issue doesn't re­solve itself. Sudden change­s demand professional opinion. Stay calm, but vigilant.

I had protected sex on april four days after my period. The next month was period was a day late so i had one full papaya and ginger tea with other spice and jaggery and exercised a lot. My period arrived but was comparatively light normal clots and heavy cramps. Is there any possibility am pregnant

Female | 20

It's not probable for you to be pregnant if your menstrual cycle arrived even if it was a little different than usual. At times, periods may be lighter or heavier due to factors such as stress or dietary changes. Cramps and clots are also normal occurrences during menstruation. However, if you’re still concerned about being pregnant, take a pregnancy test.

Why doctors refuse hysterectomy?

Female | 46

In some cases, doctors may refuse hysterectomy due to ethical or moral objections like in sterilization surgeries. Some doctors may also be bound by institutional or legal guidelines that restrict certain surgeries based on age, medical necessity, or other factors.

Hi I have syphilis for 4 years and get treated but I still test positive and some symptoms

Male | 43

If you have been treated for syphilis but are still testing positive and experience certain symptoms, follow up with your gynecologist. May be the infection has not been fully treated and hence the symptoms are showing up. Additional testing and treatment would be necessary to manage your symptoms and prevent other complications.
