What Do Prolonged Vaginal Bleeding Indicate?

I ve been bleeding since the 30th of June. I m not due for my period until the 7th. My periods are usually heavy the first couple days then light the rest of the days. For some reason it has been light since last Saturday. I ve never experienced a period like this. Is this normal?

Hello dear
Understand your concern
Prolonged vaginal bleeding are not normal:
I think following possibility in this type of case:
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding, cervix and endometrial dysplasia, cervix and vaginal polyp, fibroid/adenomyosis, endometriosis.
I advice you to consult the gynecologist and go for following investigations: Reproductive hormone analysis, Vaginal examination, USG scan, endometrial biopsy, PAP smear/Colposcopy.
Bleeding can be reduced by using tranexamic acid table and progesterone injection/tablet.
Hope this may help you
