Is it normal to be on period for 3 weeks?

Answer 1

I would say that it is something that you should discuss with a doctor. The rule of thumb is anything "outside of the norm" should be checked out...some people - particular when they are still young - have very irregular periods. Following is an excerpt from webmd: "Unpredictable or long menstrual cycles are normal for teenagers and women in their 40s. If you are a teen, you can expect cycles to even out with time. If you are nearing the age of menopause, you can expect menstrual cycles to become longer and eventually to stop. If you are not a teen or older than 40 and your cycles are shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days, there is a chance that you have a problem that needs to be checked by your doctor. Any change in your menstrual pattern or amount of bleeding that affects your daily life requires a medical check by a health professional."

Answer 2

No, that's not normal. Menstruation should only last around a week, although hormonal imbalance can cause a longer period it's not normal for periods to last up to 3 weeks or longer. It's a good idea if your period continues for over two weeks you see your doctor to get the bleeding to stop. As it's your first period this is likely not a cause for concern, just irregular hormones and hopefully just a one off.
