A menstrual period that lasts for three weeks is abnormal and leads to anemia. That explains your feeling of chronic fatigue.
Abdominal cramping, bloating and constipation are symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome, stomach ulcers, and diverticular disease.
Causes of a prolonged period include hormonal imbalance, uterine fibroids, uterine polyps, blood coagulation disorders, such as von Willebrand's disease, side effect of certain medications, including anti-inflammatory medications and anticoagulants, and a number of other medical conditions, including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), thyroid problems, endometriosis, and liver or kidney disease.
Shelby, it is very important that you consult your primary care physician and your gynecologist. Your symptoms are signaling a medical condition that must be evaluated by a doctor.
