Late period, now long period, large blood clots

I was ten days late on my period, so I went to the doctor after have a negative pregnancy test. She diagnosed me with a vaginal infection because of the missed period and vaginal discharge I was experiencing. She prescribed me some medication to heal the infection and to bring on a period. After waiting two days to hear the results of my tests, I got a call that it was not an infection. I never took the medication because my period came in the next two days.

Now, I have had my period for eight days, which is not normal for me. Normal is five days. This period has been really heavy, and I have passed three large blood clots.

What could this mean/ be?

When should I seek care from my doctor again?

Thanks!

Hi Anon,

Welcome to EmpowHER. You need to let her know or see a specialist such as an OBGYN and explain what is still happening.  Many other conditions such as cysts, fibroids and many other. Can also cause changes in your periods.

Here are some resources for you
