okay sooO i had the stomach flu ..and right after i started my period. It is REAL heavy and is lasting a lil longer then i expected . My periods are usually light and doesnt last as long . Do u think me having the stomach flu threw it off track ?? Illness can sometimes affect your cycles. Typically any bleeding that lasts 10 or more days needs to be seen by a doctor. If you are changing one or more pads or tampons in an hour or less, you need to see a doctor immediately as this is considered excessive bleeding and can lead to anemia. Generally period abnormalities can be due to many things including stress, weight gain/loss, thyroid, hormonal imbalance, infection, illness, medications, polyp, cyst, amongst other reasons. The only way to know for sure exactly what is going on is to see your doctor for an exam and testing. If a thyroid or hormonal imbalance is suspected, a simple blood test will show this. |
