continuous menstrual bleeding can be a sign of something or nothing serious. Since you continue to have your periods if i understand what you said after the age of forty you have not yet reached menopause. However, you need a full gyn workup. If your cycle just needs to be re regulated, that is a simple process. If, on the other hand, the bleeding is caused by a uterine abnormality like hyperplasia or a mass, you may need  a d and c. either way, you need to go to the doctor sooner rather than later.. Good luck

Very likely, it is perfectly normal. There is a lot of variation in how often women have their periods, the average, however,  is about 28 days.\nBut you should still visit a gynecologist as he may order some simple blood tests (hormone levels) and an ultrasound (totally painless 5 min test) just to make very sure.

It's all thanks to those hormones that cause PMS and all that other fun stuff. It's completely normal, nothing to worry about. Just take it with a grain of salt and deal with it just like you deal with your period. If it bothers you too much, take a pain reliever.

8 days minimum is alot. I would go to the Doctor about it. They may suggest birth control pills for you to regulate your period. I would also eat more iron rich foods or take a supplement. We need the iron that time of the month.

The usual duration of the menstrual cycle is 3-5 days but flows as short as 1 day and as long as 8 days are considered to be within the normal healthy range. The average amount of blood is 30 ml but anything under 80 ml is still considered to be normal.  \nYou could get a measuring cup and measure out 80ml of water to get a better idea of how much blood 80ml is and to better compare that to what you are losing.

it varies - depends mostly on how quickly your body matures.  Some have their period as young as 10 and others don't get one until they are sixteen or seventeen.

Some periods can go on 9 to 11 days.  It is perfectly normal.  But when was the last time you had it (IUD)checked?  That might make a difference.  But otherwise I wouldn't be alarmed.

It varies, usually 21 to 28 days.  Some women are very regular, some are not.

I'll admit that I am a guy, but I am taking like 3 sex ed classes right now (highschool grr).\n\nIt depends entirely on the person, some people have it constantly but it gets worse once a month. 4 days is a normal amount of time for the flow cycle of menstruation.

Yes. The menstrual cycle is a 28 day cycle rather than a month long one. In fact, it's the time between your periods is usually 28-(no. of days of your period) so you may well have overlap in a certain month.

taking a B vitamin complex will reduce the length of your period. Any period lasting over 9 days needs the doctor advice.

It depends on how many days your cycle is.  Everyone's cycle is different as far as how many days it lasts.  If you have a 28 day cycle, then your period will come again on June 15th.

boy do I have a story for you!  I once had my period for 23 day straight.  I first went to my normal doctor and she did absolutely nothing.  No tests were run or anything.   I then went to the gyno hoping for an answer.  He preceeded to tell me that it was because I was fat and that the fat cells give off more estrogen and that can prolong your period.  I went home crying still not knowing exactly what to do about the problem.

You're actually supposed to count your cycle from the first day of your period, to the next first day.  So when they say a woman has a 28 day cycle, they include the period in that cycle.\n\nYou cycle may change thoughout your life as well - as short as 20 days and as long as 36.  It'll change due to stress, age, general health, pregnancies, etc.\n\nHowver, most women do stick to a pretty regular cycle, with only a day or two of variation.
