really long periods

[hairitiz95]

I have been on my period for 11 days now and it is still heavy. I am not cramping or anything. They are always irregular also. This morning when I wiped, there was a blob of blood and it freaked me out. what is wrong?

Hi hairitiz,
Its hard to say without knowing more about you, such as how old you are. For example, if you are nearing menopause, this is not that uncommon of an occurance. When your periods are irregular, they tend to be heavier when you do get them. However, if you lose too much blood you may risk becoming anemic. There are many explanations for your symptoms, , so I would recommend seeing your doctor to discuss this with him or her.
