What does it mean when you've had your period for about three weeks?

Answer 1

There are quite a few reasons why one may have a period last for three or more weeks. It may be because of an IUD, and infection, medication, or Uterine Fibroids. The best thing to do is have an appointment with your OBGYN and make sure everything is okay.

Answer 2

One factor as to why you are having a period for that long could be a hormonal imbalance. I remember when I was in my early teens (im 45 now) and I actually missed a period for almost 2 mos. When my mom took me to the OBGYN, of course I was a little scared because I was sexually active but used protection; however after my exam, that is what he told me. He said its caused by stress, poor eating habits, mental worries, illness (like if you just got over a cold, etc). He said it could happen the opposite, as in what you are experiencing. However, having a period for that long should prompt you to go and see your OBGYN, so that he/she can ensure that there is nothing else going on. Hope this helps.

Answer 4
