There are several reasons why someone may experience prolonged bleeding during their period. Some possible causes include hormonal imbalances, uterine fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, thyroid disorders, or certain medications. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of your prolonged bleeding and to discuss appropriate treatment options.

Factors Contributing to Lengthy Menstrual Bleeding:
- Hormonal Imbalances:
- Insufficient progesterone production can lead to prolonged bleeding.
- Excess estrogen levels can result in uterine thickening and abnormal shedding of the uterine lining.
- Structural Alterations:
- Uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths) can increase the uterine surface area, leading to heavy and extended bleeding.
- Endometrial polyps (growths in the uterine lining) can interfere with shedding and cause irregular periods.
- Medical Conditions:
- Thyroid disorders can affect hormone balance and lead to prolonged menstrual bleeding.
- Coagulation disorders (blood clotting problems) can make it difficult for the body to stop bleeding.
- Anemia (iron deficiency) can weaken the uterine muscles, leading to heavier flow and longer bleeding duration.
- Medications:
- Certain hormonal birth control methods (e.g., intrauterine devices, some pills) can cause spotting or irregular bleeding.
- Anticoagulants (blood thinners) can increase the risk of heavy and prolonged bleeding.
- Other Factors:
- Stress, lack of sleep, and excessive exercise can disrupt hormone balance and contribute to heavier bleeding.
- Pregnancy loss (miscarriage or abortion) can result in prolonged bleeding while the uterus sheds the pregnancy tissue.
- Certain lifestyle factors, such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, can worsen menstrual symptoms.
When to Seek Medical Attention:
It's important to seek medical attention if your menstrual periods last for more than 7 days consistently, are accompanied by excessive pain or clotting, or if you experience any other unusual symptoms. These could indicate an underlying medical condition that requires treatment.
