A member asked:
Is it safe for my period to last for more than 7 days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually yes: You should be evaluated to make sure your periods are not depleting your ability to make new blood. Usually, it is not the number of days of the period rather how heavy your period is. But you should be checked.
