A member asked:

What does it mean when my period is very very heavy and last about a week and 5 days?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your GYN: If your periods have always been like this, that may be your normal. You may have a polyp or fibroids causing your periods to be heavy. You may also have a bleeding disorder. Diet and exercise and maintaining a healthy weight also helps to regulate periods.
