Periods longer than 8 days

2018-10-30 17:04:52
I’ve had my periods for 8 days now and it hasn’t ended yet. My normal cycle lasts 4 days. The flow is normal (less actually). Same thing happened last month too. Should I be worried? I don’t have thyroid. I’m took corticosteroids injections thrice for alopcia last month.
