Dr. Dennis Higginbotham answered

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Not normal: The period should last for 3 to 5 days and may last for up to 10 days. If your periods last more than 10 days you should see your doctor for evaluation. The bleeding can be caused by infection, polyps, fibroids, adenomyosis, cancer, etc.
