A member asked:

Is it bad if i have my period for a long time such as almost 3 weeks straight but its on and off.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prolonged period: A 3 week period is not normal even if it is on and off as described. Over several weeks anemia can develop.(low blood levels) You need to see a GYN MD to find out why this is occurring.

Dr Hickerson and another doctor agreed
