Is a period that lasts for eight days still normal?
On average, a period lasts 3–7 days. However, when first starting, this can be irregular. Along with this, genetics and/or other health problems can affect this. There are plenty of medical conditions that cause periods to last longer (mine are 11–14 days), heavier and more painful. Luckily, in some cases, you can have some tablets that can stop the pain. Some women are also on The Pill. This stops their period for as long as they take it.
Every woman is different and it might be normal for yours to last 8days. But you might consider the following:
-are they 8days of heavy period?
-is your period painful? Do you have massive cramps? If so, mainly the second one, then do visit a gynaecologist! It is not dangerous but you might have andometriosis ou adenomyosis and it needs to be cared of.
