What can make your period last longer then 7 days?

Question

Last month I got my period a week early. I bled for 7 days, then 2 weeks later I got it again and bled for 2 weeks. Now 2 weeks after that I started bleeding and it has been 6 days and there is no size that it is going away anytime soon. Does anyone know what this means? And please don't just write "Go to the doctor"

Answer 1

it just means you have a heavy flow,if your aged between 12-25.its perfectly normall,periods are all different, i suggest u go to the doctors and ger birth controll pills.this will make you lighter,and shorter,and if you have the mini pill you can stop your periods alltogether!

goodluck x*x

Answer 2

That happened to a friend of mine, she found out she was anemic. That may be why.  Or your cycle is changing.  

Answer 3

It could be anything.

That happened to me in 1992 after a period didn't stop.

My doctor told me I had stopped ovulating and put me on the pill to stop the bleeding plus to regulate me.  I bled for a year.

Please see a Gyn so that he/she can stop the bleeding.  It may not stop if you have stopped ovulating like I did.  But you should still see the doctor because it can be something more serious like cancer.  This also happened to a friend of mine.  She waited to go to the doctor too long and found she had cancer. She died within a year.
