Is it normal to be on your period for 10 days?

I am a 23 year old female. I have been on my period for 10 days. Is it normal?

It can be normal as there are some cycles that can last longer. Sometimes it could be something else like a thyroid issue, early "chemical" pregnancy, or even stress.

menses usually is about 4-7 days in length An isolated event of 10 days should not be a cause of concern. However if this becomes persistent chronic, then this need be investigated. Keep a journal of your menses for 3 consecutive months, and present this to your physician/ obgyn for review.

No, that's much too long.
