A member asked:

I'm 41-have not had sex in quite a while. my period is usually normal. it started 2 weeks early and is pretty heavy. @ what point should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bleeding: If you are soaking a pad in an hour or less, you should be worried. Or if you bleed for more than 7 days. At 41 if your bleeding has changed significantly, you likely need to see your gynecologist for an evaluation. You wouldn't want to miss a uterine cancer which is highly treatable when detected early.
