Is it normal to have a menstrual period for two weeks?

Patient's question:

Menstrual period lasts two weeks, very light flow in the first week, normal flow from the second week onwards.

Doctor's answer:

Irregular menstruation has many causes, which are typically classified into two major categories in clinical practice: one is functional, such as irregular menstruation caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, which can also lead to irregular menstruation.
Go to the hospital for a check-up, take medication based on the symptoms, and eat more foods that boost qi and blood, or use traditional Chinese medicine for regulating menstruation, such as Angelica sinensis (Dang Gui), Astragalus membranaceus (Huang Qi), and Leonurus cardiaca (Yi Mu Cao). Drink plenty of water, eat less spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to a balanced diet, and exercise more.
Wishing you good health.
