A member asked:

Hello, i am 18 years old, i have been having my period 12 days straight non stop. i had appendectomy 2 months ago. is this normal? thank you

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not normal: Its not normal to have a period for 12 days straight. However, the stress of surgery can sometimes keep you from ovulating and this can make you skip periods and/or have a heavy period or two. If it is a persistent problem and doesn't correct itself, you should see your Ob/Gyn. Best wishes!
