Need to see doctor: You need to see your ob/gyn doctor. A period longer than a week is abnormal. You need evaluation and a physical exam.

Talk with your doc: Ff your period lasts longer than 2 weeks, then talk with your family doc or gyn. Other warning signs: bleeding so heavy it soaks at least one pad or tampon an hour for more than a few hours, irregular vaginal bleeding, any vaginal bleeding after menopause, feeling lightheaded or dizzy. Great question. Hope you feel better.

Lots of options: You will need to see your obgyn for an exam and testing. Depending on your age and fertility plans there are lots of treatment options. Birth control pills can regulate your cycle. Mirena (levonorgestrel) iuds can minimize your periods. Lysteda is a great new hormone free drug used to stop heavy periods. If you are done with pregnancies ask if you are a candidate for an endometrial ablation.

If you were having: Regular periods prior to now, please see your gynecologist for evaluation. That should help to determine the cause.
