A member asked:

This is the first time in my life my period hasnt stopped. i am 41 years old and have had a tubal ligation about 10 years ago. this is the 12th day ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A few possibilities: Usually this is caused by hormonal irregularities or a problem with the clotting system. A clinical exam and probably blood tests are needed to determine the cause. The good news is that most of the time periods will return to normal. Best wishes.
