Why is my menstruation lasting more than a week and causing weakness?
Asked by Female, 30 ยท 2 months ago
A period lasting more than a week may be due to hormonal imbalance, uterine fibroids, thyroid problems, or certain medications, and the prolonged bleeding can lead to iron deficiency or anaemia, which causes weakness. It's essential to consult a gynaecologist for a thorough evaluation, including blood tests and an ultrasound, to identify the exact cause. Treatment may involve iron supplements, hormonal medicines, or other specific therapy depending on the diagnosis. Until then, try to rest well, stay hydrated, and eat iron-rich foods to help manage fatigue.
