A member asked:
What could cause my period to be longer than normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things: Longer menstrual flow is usually caused by a hormonal change (even pregnancy), a problem in the uterus, or a blood clotting defect. More than 7 day periods or a sudden change for you can indicate a problem and should be checked.
