Periods that last up to two weeks are not typical and could be caused by hormonal changes, underlying health conditions, or other factors. For young girls who are new to menstruation, long periods can sometimes occur due to the body adjusting to hormonal shifts during puberty.

Advice:

• Hormonal Changes: When you first start your period, your body is still regulating its hormones, which can lead to irregular or prolonged bleeding. This is common during the early years of menstruation.

• Track Your Cycle: Keep a journal or use a period tracking app to monitor how long your periods last and any other symptoms you experience. This information can be helpful if you need to talk to a doctor.

• When to Seek Help: If your period lasts longer than 7 days consistently or causes heavy bleeding (e.g., soaking through pads or tampons quickly), it’s important to talk to a trusted adult and visit a healthcare provider. Conditions like thyroid imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or bleeding disorders could be contributing factors.

Consider using BPP Organic Pads during long periods. They’re gentle on sensitive skin and free from synthetic chemicals that may disrupt hormone levels, offering comfortable and eco-friendly protection.
