General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear
Understand your concern
Following are the causes of prolonged period:
dysfunctional uterine bleeding due to hormonal imbalance, fibroid/adenomyosis, endometrial dysplasia and cancer, cervix dysplasia and cancer, endometriosis, vaginal/ cervix polyp, bleeding disorder and pelvic infections.
I advice you to consult the gynecologist and undergo following tests:
reproductive hormone analysis, endometrial biopsy by D & C, PAP smear or colposcopy, USG scan, CBC, BT, CT, APTT amd vaginal swab test.
Treatment will depend upon the cause of problem.
Meanwhile you can progesterone shot/pill/injection.
Tranexaemic acid to reduce the bleeding.
Take healthy diet with supplements of iron, folic acid and vitamin.
Hope this may help you
