I really need help with this problem, I know what a period is, but, I never knew a girl could have it for a long time, can you reassure me that everything will be okay?

I'm Hoping You Guys Could Help Me Without The Name Calling, So?

My girlfriend has been afraid about her period and I keep reassuring her that its the way of life, I mean, she had one before, and she is very smart to me, anyway, she is scared about losing to much blood from her period, I never had a girlfriend in the past 7 years so I don't know what happens or, yea, and I don't know why she is scared, I'm afraid, I admit, because, I just never had a girlfriend los that much blood, even though it may be a period, I am still scared, I know this is stupid, like all the other questions about woman I ask, because, basically, this is my second girlfriend, I had a girlfriend before, but, not one with a period this long, is it continuous? if not, how long? and is there a break period where she won't feel all yucky?

som you want to know if your girlfriend can have a period for a long time but you dont say how long she has been having one?

[rowanwitch]

If it is lasting over a week and is very heavy sh should see her Gp

Nice you are worried for her...

Strange topic to post this question in.

Daffy, he posted it in Body and Soul earlier this morning, but had no replies.

Unsurpring at 5 o'clock in the morning.

Also I suspect folk might be suspicious of how genuine it is given that the obvious action if worried is for the girlfriend to talk to the GP. I'm unsure many folk would wonder if a period was continuous, which I take to mean permanent.

But good advice has been given and the question answered.

consult a psych for consultation

Surely this isn't for real ???

[wildwood]

Are you sure this isn't an excuse to put you off pressing for S-E-X ?

I keep expecting this question to be about a dog or cat. I fall for it every time:-(

A week is the longest most women would expect. Each month = three weeks off, one week on (maximum). Some women are lucky and only lose for 3 days. If it's going on longer than a week, she needs to see her doctor. Tell her not to be embarrassed, the doc is used to discussing things like this.
