Question

I had my period for 1 week now and its still bleeding but only bleed a little bit not much, my mom think is serious and my sister think that i can have cancer??.........so is it a normal thing that i have my period for more then a week because usally i think we only have it for 3-4 days. should i go to the doc?....i'm only 13 and i dont feel any pain cramps or anything i'm normal. what should i do? i'm kinda worry

Answer 1

a regular period lasts 3 to 10 days

Answer 2

You do NOT have cancer! I remember in junior high a lot of my friends and I got periods that lasted for weeks. Then sometimes 2 weeks later, we'd get 'em AGAIN! It sucked, but it will even out as you get older. There are a few things that can give you long heavy periods - fibroids are one - but because you are 13, it is much more likely you've just got a wacky cycle.

That said, make an appt with a gyn anyway. If you're getting your period, you should start going once a year, and she will be able to answer all your questions and set your mind at ease.  

Answer 3

your fine, it could last as long as 10 days!

Answer 5

Answer 6
