Prolonged periods
Doctor, I am 25 years old and not sexually active (virgin). My periods are usually a predictable 5 days with mild cramps. This cycle, I had brief mid-cycle spotting, followed by very light spotting on Aug 6, proper red flow Aug 7, a stall on Aug 8–10, and then a heavy flare with a clot on Aug 11. I am still lightly bleeding with mild lower pelvic/thigh cramping today (Day 9). I experienced zero cramps on all the days except light cramps on day 8 nd 9. What could possibly be wrong?
I am 82 kgs and 5'3' height and have had regular periods

Nine days of on-and-off bleeding with a heavy clot day is outside what's typical for you and is worth checking properly.
Next Steps
Please get a pelvic ultrasound and a hormone panel done, then see a gynaecologist with the reports.
Health Tips
If bleeding gets heavier or you feel dizzy or very weak, seek care the same day.
