Can Long Term Steroids Usage For HPV Cause Prolonged Periods?
I was diagnosed with high risk HPV a few months ago, and now suffering from pneumonia. I ve been on 3 rounds of antibiotics, 2 rounds of steroids, plus one steroid shot, and two antibiotic shots. I have now had my period for 3 weeks. Curious as to why this could happen and how dangerous was it for the hpv to be on steroids for so long.

Hello,
It could be the steroids or just the prolonged illness. Either of those may cause abnormal bleeding. Being on steroids for prolonged periods can cause a large number of problems. Please see your doctor about minimizing steroid use. You also need to see a doctor soon to make sure you are not anemic due to all the bleeding.
