What Can Cause Prolonged And Heavy Menstrual Bleeding?
Recently I had my period for about 8 to 9 days and then it stopped with scattered spotting for about 2 to 3 days and now it’s started up a lot heavier and i’ve had it for about 7 to 8 days. i’m not sure if it’s concerning or not so hopefully you can help me.

Hello,
As the first line of management, you can take drugs like tranexamic acid to control bleeding. If bleeding persists better to consult a gynaecologist and get evaluated. You have to go for an ultrasound for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
