A member asked:
How long is too long to have a period? i've been having mine for about 4 weeks now. it's not heavy just annoying. what could cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too long: A period should not normally last longer than a week and 4 weeks is definitely too long. You need to get in to a gynecologist for a full history, exam, and appropriate testing ASAP. Hope this helps.
