Period problem
Hi Doctor, I am 36years old, married since 2011. I have a 4 year old kid too. From past few months my period is continuing for whole 1 week. This time till 8th day too I had blood flow but very minimal in quantity. Not sure what's the reason. I have over weight, so have joined a yoga class too. Could you please let me know what could be the reason of such long period?
