I feel weak and have had menstrual bleeding for more than a week. What should I do to treat this condition?
Prolonged menstrual bleeding may lead to anaemia due to excessive blood loss, which can cause weakness. It may also indicate hormonal imbalances, uterine fibroids, or other underlying gynaecological issues. You should consult your doctor or gynaecologist promptly for a thorough evaluation, which may include a pelvic exam, blood tests, an ultrasound, and other relevant investigations. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may involve iron or vitamin supplementation to correct anaemia, medications to control bleeding, or procedures such as hormonal therapy or surgery if necessary. Meanwhile, get adequate rest, stay hydrated, and include iron-rich foods in your diet to help manage weakness.
