2025-10-22 11:14:19
Hello, currently I am on my periods.Today is 8th day of my menstrual cycle and still I am bleeding. Usually I have periods for 4-5 days but this time it is longer. But there is no worrying symptoms, daily routine is normal. Would like to know if it is normal to have periods longer than 7 days? When to see a doctor?
