abnormal menstration cycle that lasted longer than usual
Question Posted Monday September 18 2006, 7:56 am
i am 20, and i've been having rather regular menstration cycle so far(24 days cycle). this month, my menstral cycle was only 17 days.
my period usually lasts for 4-5 days.. but this time it's been 7 days already.
usually i bleed a little after my period ends. i thought its due to excessive excercise. but this time it seems way too long!
i'm worried.

everyone has these kinds of periods and it's actually good that your period was long because that means your part is more cleansed because more things came out.

Im sure they will be able to reassure you that its normal. If youre worried, taking iron tablets usually makes heavy or long periods more healthy.
Best of luck xx [ Tan's advice column | Ask Tan A Question ]
