Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Needs to be checked: Three weeks of bleeding is not normal. You will need to be seen for an examination and testing. There are too many possibilities to really discuss here from infection, polyps, hormonal imbalances, cancer. Time to schedule a visit.
