A member asked:
Me and my girlfriend had sex friday night and she got on her period saturday but it's lasting longer than usual what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If it is lasting: more than 7 days then it is a prolonged period. It can have several causes such as hormonal imbalance in particular if there is excessive progesteron, stress, trauma to vagina, polyps, pcos, etc. If this happens again see your gyn. If it does not happen again do not worry about it.
