have had periods for 20 days is it normal? what can be the cause?o

Hi lucie mutegi,

Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community.

Prolonged menstrual bleeding, or menorrhagia, is bleeding that goes beyond a week. Normal menstrual bleeding typically last from three to seven days. Usually the cause has to do with your hormone levels and is a condition that can be easily controlled with birth control hormones.

Call your doctor for an appt so you can examined and decide on a course of action to treat.

I hope this helps.

Be well,
