What Causes Changes In The Menstrual Flow?
Not a very comfortable question but my period lasts for 11-15 days. No cramps just annoying. .. red at first and clots for about 4-7 days then the rest of the days are on and off brown discharge for the remaining days. Is this an issue? I'm 32... married with 4kids

Hi..
Welcome to HCM?
Since when is this pattern of bleeding present?
It can be normal also but we need to rule out certain conditions like fibroids in the uterus, functional causes due to hormones or a hyper thyroid state.
Also you need to take iron supplements in order to replenish the loss of iron through menstruation..
Do consult your nearest gynecologist for advice..
Hope this information helps..Take care..
