Any bleeding that lasts for 10 days or longer needs to be evaluated by a doctor to determine the cause. If you are changing one or more pads or tampons in an hour this needs to be checked out immediately as this can lead to anemia. Period abnormalities can be due to many things including stress, weight gain/loss, thyroid, hormonal imbalance, infection, illness, medications, polyp, cyst, amongst other reasons. Please see your doctor for an exam and testing to determine what the exact cause may be.
