A member asked:
Day 16 of my period, what are some possible causes and what can i do to encourage it to end more quickly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your OBGYN: There is nothing someone can do themselves to stop their period. Prolonged menstruation needs to be investigated for cause to recommend the best treatment. Causes can range from hormonal issues to pregnancy to structural causes, ssuch as fibroids or polyps.
