What Causes Prolonged And Heavy Menstruation?

Hi Dr. So I have been on my period for 21 days now. My body doesn t hurt. My blood first looked like dry blood coming out like dark color. Then I got heavy after 2 days. Then it would be light blood then heavy. Then I would be a little more than spotting. Now I m kind of heavy now. Is this normal?

Hi thanks for posting on hcm.if you are my patient I would suggest to have a consultation.
To speak in detail To answer your query need few more things to know like is this the first time you are experiencing this kind of period or you have this before? Are you periods regular and how many days do they last?. Is there amy chance you being pregnant? Your age? If everything is normal and you're not in premenopausal stage then for my patient's I would like to get thyroid function tests done and an ultrasound to see if there are any fibroids. If there is any chance of you being pregnant then I would ask you to consult a doctor ASAP.
