@lisha Hi Most women’s periods last between two and seven days. Generally this includes one or two days of heavy flow.
However we are all different and therefore this will not be the same for everyone. Also, the amount of bleeding can vary from month to month, and this is totally normal. The bleeding will often have clots.
If your period is so heavy that you have to change your pad or tampon more than once an hour, if the blood is coming out in a steady stream and won’t stop, or if your bleeding is lasting longer than seven days, then you do need to see your GP.
