A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: Menstrual periods can have variation in the duration and amount of bleeding. One long period is not a worrisome thing. However, you may wish to take oral iron supplements to avoid anemia. If the bleeding continues into the next cycle, it would be time to see your doctor.
