Talk to experienced gynaecologist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
As per duration, 8 days is definitely long. But you have to see how much is the blood loss.
I suggest you should get a Sonography done. With a normal report it is worthwhile trying to stop the bleeding by medicines.
Next Steps
Please consult a Gynaecologist in your area because Tele-consultation for this problem may lead to over-treatment.
