A member asked:

I got my period 3 times in one month. the cramps are pretty bad, and the first 2 were heavy. the current is light. i am not sexually active. help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your doctor.: Having a menstrual period more than once every 21 days is considered abnormal. Depending on your age this could be an indication of normal changes or signify another problem. Either way, heavy prolonged bleeding can lead to anemia and I would advise you to be seen by a doctor versed in women's health for testing.
