How to Deal with Heavy Period for 16 Days?

Patient's Query

I have been getting my period for 16 days, and it is extremely heavy. What should i do?

Answered by Dr. Himali Patel

This may be an indication of a medical condition like uterine fibroids or endometriosis. I suggest you to go to a gynecologist immediately. They will diagnose and treat any conditions that are causing you to have long and heavy periods.

Taking the i-pill twice in a short span can lead to hormonal imbalances and side effects, and your symptoms may require medical evaluation. Please contact a healthcare professional as soon as possible to discuss your symptoms and concerns.

I missed 3 days of my period and on 4th day i got bleeding..i am confused that its my period or implantation bleeding. pregnancy test shows negative..

Female | 33

MISSING PERIOD followed by BLEEDING can have multiple causes.. IMPLANTATION BLEEDING occurs before a MISSED PERIOD.. NEGATIVE PREGNANCY TEST indicates it may not be IMPLANTATION BLEEDING.. Consult a DOCTOR for further evaluation of the CAUSE.

So I have had sex twice in my life ....but at both times it was protected sex like we used condoms ......tho the second time ....it took a short time ...like i lost gas before it was that intense... But like let's after a week or two ...I had my periods..it was a heavy flow with painful cramps and it happened the usual way for me ....then the next month I missed my periods.... Ps..have always had unstable periods from the very start of experiencing them ...so missing my periods that month didn't really scare me But now this month (second month from the time I had sex) I vomited once and I think it was cause of my ulcers ...then I barely excrete.....I don't over pee unless I drink a lot .....I have always over slept even before and I still over sleep .....I have always been lazy but there's a way I feel so weak in my body and I don't know if it's cause I might be pregnant....have done several tests and its always indicating negative results... So now please help me describe what the problem with me might be

My hymen is still not completely broken. Once I saw few drops of blood . But still the hymen is strong there. I had intercourse not a proper one and penis didn't enter into my vagina. But the sperms fell on my vagina and we still did 3 ,4 pushes. Will I be pregnant .

Female | 23

Eve­n if complete insertion didn't occur, pre­gnancy remains a possibility since sperm can still re­ach the egg. Immediate­ symptoms might not manifest, but missed periods or bre­ast tenderness could be­ early indicators. Taking a pregnancy test provide­s confirmation. It's important to understand that an intact hymen doesn't pre­clude pregnancy.

Question for OBGYN or anyone in women’s health: I am 25F and have been using the Evra estrogen+progesterone patch (Canadian version) since February 2023 (almost 3 years) due to abnormally heavy periods leading to anemia. It has essentially stopped my period. For the last year only, since April, my “periods” (or breakthrough bleeding) have become more regular, occurring every 3 months or so. I usually will remove the patch when it starts to allow myself to shed any excess lining. But more recently I have been shedding extremely thick clots of coagulated blood/lining, multiple times an hour, each clot about the size of the palm of my hand. This coupled with EXTREMELY heavy bleeding. I use the largest and thickest available overnight pads throughout the day and night, and each one is soaked through in about an hour, along with 2-3 large jelly-like clots sitting on top of the pad which I have to pick up manually and dispose of in the toilet. I can feel the clots passing most often when moving from sitting to standing, as it is accompanied by a wave of abdominal pain and then the uncomfortable sensation of passing a large mass of tissue. I went to the ER the first time this started happening as I was worried about the blood loss. They instructed me to take iron supplements (which I already do) and told me it was normal on the patch - but it isn’t typical for me. It’s been impossible to find a doctor available nearby so I was hoping to get some more insight into why this is suddenly starting to happen, and whether it’s safe for me to continue on the Evra patch. Thank you so much for any help.
