Why Does My Period Last 8 Days or Longer?

Patient's Query

Why is period lasting 8 days or sometimes a bit longer, my first time was 5 now its been like this for quite a while.

Answered by Dr. Nisarg Patel

If you get menstruation for more than 8 days quite frequently, you've better consult a gynaecologist. Prolonged menstruation lasting for a couple of days may be a sign of some serious underlying disease just like uterine fibroids or endometriosis.

It's good that you are taking steps to recognize things early. Dexamethasone is used to help a baby's lungs develop in case they are born prematurely. Premature means the baby is born before 37 weeks of pregnancy. You don't need to worry about the baby having problems with this medicine if they are not born until after 37 weeks.

I advise you to visit a gynecologist for a diagnosis of your current health status. It is frequently due to a number of reasons, for instance hormonal imbalance, stress, or hidden medical problems. A gynecologist can do the thorough examination and give all the needed guidance

Why is my urine Lh elevated during menstration. I just stopped bleeding and my cm was lotionany now sticky so something is not matching up I'm on cycle day 6

Female | 30

In women, increased LH in urine is expected during the menstruation period. LH is a hormone that assists in the release of eggs from the ovaries. Following the end of your monthly period, the LH levels might increase as a way of preparing for ovulation. There can be changes in the cervical mucus throughout the cycle. Having lotion-like discharge before getting the sticky one is typical.

Give yourself time to heal and avoid activities that worsen the pain. Over the counter pain relief like also can help but take only as if prescribed by a doctor. Apply cold compress to reduce swelling.

My girlfriend got her periods On 2nd jan.On 7th of jan i rubbed my Dick on my Girlfriends vagina. It didn't get inside but as precaution she took the unwanted 72 on 9th of jan (in 48 hours). And now on 2nd feb her periods started again but there is very low bleeding. In one hour only 3,4 times bleeds (5-6 drops of blood). What should we do now? Is she pregnant?

Female | 22

Pregnancy is not possible. Bleeding could be a side effect of the emergency contraceptive pill.
