A member asked:
What can be the causes for being on my period for almost 10 weeks? i shall be going to the doctors eventually, i'm just wanting to get a general idea on reasons why people may be on their period for a long time?

Not really a period: You have abnormal uterine bleeding. Causes can be benign like polyps, or hormone imbalances, or thyroid disease. There can be underlying cancers. You should see your gyn and they can do an endometrial biopsy to rule out most tissue causes. If normal then they can treat hormonally. You are likely entering perimenopause.
