Do I need to see a doctor, or should I wait this out?

Question:

I have had my period for nearly three weeks. It comes and goes, and is heaviest just after having a bowel movement. It was a few months late, which is fairly normal for me- I've always been irregular. But I've never had one this long. I haven't had cramping or pain, just continued menstruation. Should I be seeing a doctor about this, or should I wait until it resolves itself?

Answers:
This is a sign of a problem- you need to see a doctor now. Periods are about 28 days apart & each period lasts about 5-7 days- not 3 weeks, you could be hemorrging- this can be a sigh of plenty of things such as from miscarriage- to serious illnesses. Usualy when a normal female bleeds for that long or longer is right after they had a baby- now that's normal because its not even called a real period anyways but its expected. But for a female that have inregularities with the menstrual cycle should consult their PD- Primary Doctor or OB GYN doctor, they can put you on birth control to fix your cycle & try to get it nomal- or if that doesn't work they'll prescibe you something else. I hope this helps, & you have no serious condition. Good luck!

U need to see your doctor. With it continuing like this, there could be something more wrong than just your normal cycle. Please go see your doctor.

My sister has the same problem , or something identical to this , go see your doctor , my sister now has pills to calm it down . Good luck ! =]

I would be calling the doctor for any period over ten days long.

I would go ahead and see a doctor.
