Irregular periods
For the past 7-8 years, I have been experiencing irregular periods. Initially, the gaps between periods were 1-2 months, and I was later diagnosed with a cyst, which was surgically removed. In the last 2 years, I have been managing my menstrual cycle with pills.
If I don't take the prescribed pills for 21 days, my period doesn't occur.
However, my most recent period, which started on December 4th, has been unusually prolonged. It began normally but transitioned to heavy bleeding after the initial 6-7 days, followed by ongoing spotting for the past 25 days. This has left me feeling quite worried.
