A member asked:

I've had my period, light and heavy, for the past 4 weeks. why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hormonal imbalance: Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon, but bleeding for 4 weeks is not normal and you should consult your doctor. Since you are at risk of being anemic, you may start taking oral iron supplement and multivitamin while you try to set up an appointment with your doctor.
