A member asked:
I've had a steady period flow for two months. most of the time it has been lighter, but for about a week it was extremely heavy! what could it be?

Abnornal: That is very abnormal. Certainly needs to be evaluates. Causes include hormones problems (pcos, thryoid problems, prolactin problems), infection. Cancer or precancer cells of cervix or uterus, uterine polyps or fibroid. Those are the most common possibilities for sure. Would see your obgyn first to begin an evaluation.
