Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Long period: Cycle changes can sometimes occur and nothing is wrong. However, if the flow continues to be longer after 2 cycles then see your doctor. Medications and weight gain can cause changes from month to month. See your doctor if you continue to have long cycles.
