What causes prolongued menstrual period?

[Grace_Rdz]

This is going to be tmi but I just need answers.
So I started my period the first few days of this month & went to a gynecologist a bit more than a week after since it hadn't ended & I thought that was a lot of days (yeah right) the doctor said it was normal since I'm irregular (I had been getting my period like twice a month.) The thing is, it's the end of April now and I am still on my period which means I've had it for almost a whole month. I've been bleeding everyday, the symptoms are the same as usual except more intense & prolongued. I have lower back cramps, crazy mood swings, and extreme food cravings. Not to mention my even further increased sex drive, holy fuck. I'm scared though, what if there's something wrong with me? What are the reasons it would last so long? I feel like if I go to the gynecologist again she'll keep saying I'm alright but I feel like crap.

Do you experience any pain alongside your periods? When did you get your first period? Do you have excessive body hair anywhere or acne? Does anyone in your family have a bleeding disorder? How many months have you been irregular? Are you sexually active? Could there be a chance that you're pregnant?

She has been bleeding daily, she hasn't got delayed period she has prolonged period so no she cannot physically be pregnant.

1. Terrible lower back aches and sometimes stomach cramps
2. I believe I was 15
3. Neither
4. Nope
5. I've been irregular for about 3 months
6. I'm not sexually active
7. Impossible

@FilthyPervert first trimester miscarriage can be confused as menstruation. person may not even realize she was pregnant.

@Asker Okay, considering menarche wasn't too long ago, the irregularity may be normal and temporary. Funky things can happen early on usually related to hormones level instability leading to anovulation but it usually normalizes. If it continues or if the pain gets extremely excrutiating, the doctor will probably investigate to rule out endometriosis or uterine fibroids.

think you should consult your doctor.. otherw
ise you could be anemic due to loose of blood

[Grace_Rdz]

Yeah, I think I should have a blood test done

[Prakbio]

Yeah... may be some kindda hormonal dis-balance..

[FilthyPervert]

You are very entitled to be concerned, have you told your parents about it?

[Grace_Rdz]

Yes, my mom is quite concerned about it as well

[Red_Arrow]

Just saw this question and it is closed. I hope by now Asker has returned to her gyno. A month of bleeding is not good. Pleas let us know that you are okay!
