A member asked:
Is it normal for menstrual periods to last longer than 7 days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The average menstrual period ranges from 3 to 5 days - but up to 7 or 10 days is the upper limit of what would be considered normal. If your periods are consistently 7 days or so, it is likely normal for you. Most women will have shorter and lighter periods when taking birth control pills.
