Hi. I m 38. no real health issues other than my menstrual cycle. My last child born Aug 13. breastfed for 13 months. I got my periods back once I stopped bf. For the last 9 months i have been having my periods which last 12 days. light at first, very heavy and painful for 3-4 days and then light again. about two weeks and then they start again. is this normal? should i be concerned? Prior to the pregnancy my periods were regular and no issues. i m on no medications. thank you. katrina

Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
 

No, it isn't normal looking duration of periods and flow is also heavy. They restart after just two weeks and that's is not at all normal. You need to consult a Gynaecologist as soon as possible. She will examine you physically and may run a battery of tests on you to reach to a diagnosis and will treat accordingly.


Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.

Have a wonderful time ahead.
