Sudden prolonged periods
I am a mother of a 3 year old. I have pcod and since 8-9 years I have been facing irregular periods. But my days of periods have never lasted for more than 5 days . But this time I got my periods after 2 months, the flow was good on 1st and 2nd day and then it slowly reduced till yesterday morning (6th day) when suddenly while taking bath I realised I am bleeding still, this again reduced overnight and today (7th day) I initially didn't put pad after bath but then I realised I am again bleeding.. I am very worried .. should I show a doctor immediately? Is it cancer ?

Don't jump to a diagnosis of cancer
Bleeding more than 7 days is not normal you need an ultrasound to find out the reason
