What Causes Prolonged Menstruation?
I have been having my period for almost a year now. All the times I have it it is very light and dark brown. There is rarely Andy red blood unless I see a little on the top of the tampon I ve used. No I am not sexually active. First off, why is this happening and how do I get it to be a normal color? Thanks.
