Complications during Pregnancy Answer A3518 Posted: 01-14-08 11:35am
Menstruation is not normal if lasts longer
than 7 days (menorrhagya) and if the
amount of menstruated blood is greater
than 150ml (hypermenorrhea). Heavy or
prolonged menstrual bleeding can be due to
some type of organic disorder such as an
endometrial polyp, sub-mucosal myoma,
infection, or endometriosis. You can
consult your gynecologist about these
symptoms and seek a full consultation and
examination.
