A member asked:
I lost my apt 2 fire, had 2 pack/lift heavy boxes. my period is prolonged not heavy 10 days now. can strain and/or stress cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not strain: Stress can disrupt normal menstrual cycling, but usually would not cause an excessively long period, it would be more likely to cause delay in period, or a disruption in the intervals of /in between periods. Strain wouldn't cause a longer period.
