Here's why you shouldn't just deal with never-ending periods.
Here's what I can tell you as a practicing ob-gyn: menses — that's the term gynecologists use to describe your period flow — occurs on average every 28 days, though that can range from 21 to 35 days and still be normal, if slightly atypical. Periods last anywhere from two to seven days. During that time, a person will lose an average of 35 milliliters of blood and as much as 80 milliliters .
But regardless of how heavy your period is, bleeding for more than seven or eight days can signal an underlying problem. These are some of the most common causes.A common culprit of prolonged bleeding is a fibroid or polyp on the uterus or cervix., though different structures, have a few things in common: they both cause persistent bleeding and are most often benign, so once they're removed, the problem is solved.
Though it may seem counterintuitive, it's important to take a pregnancy test if you experience irregular or prolonged bleeding, as these can be a sign of ectopic pregnancy or other complicated and risky syndromes.. In PCOS, there's a lack of communication between the brain and the ovaries, which causes them not to release an egg in a scheduled, cyclical fashion.
Regardless of the cause, it's important to be evaluated for abnormal bleeding. Bleeding for too long can lead to anemia, or low blood count, which causes fatigue, compromises the immune system, and can even be life-threatening if the problem becomes severe. Don't just deal with never-ending periods — talk to your doctor so the two of you can work together to fix it.
