What Causes Prolonged Period Bleeding?
My period skipped three months.I m guessing it skipped because I have been really stressed, sown and out with migraine, vertigo,sinus issues., greenish nipple discharge....now that it came for the month of October, it seems like it won t stop. On October 3rd it started super light and stayed that way for some time. Unfortunately, I can t recall what date it actually started like a normal period. Today is the 26th and though it isn t as heavy, I m still bleeding. Coincidentally , I have bloody discharge from one nipple which the Dr said could be just a mere blockage other intraductural papilloma. Do u think they re related? Why won t my period stop?

Hi,
A prolonged bleeding during the period can be due to a hormonal disturbance, fibroid uterus, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, polyp, etc. Detailed investigations are needed to find out the cause.
