“Why would a period suddenly last long?”
My periods normally last for 4 days, but the one I had this month lasted for 10 days. What could have caused this?

There are many reasons for prolonged menses. One of the causes can be hormonal imbalances, which may be stress related. It usually corrects itself, so see a gynecologist.
Many things could have caused it such as stress or a change in exercise routines. As long as this is not a pattern for you it is nothing to worry about. If it continues you should see a provider to determine why it is happening and to treat it.
Various reasons. Many depending upon your age:
1. Birth control pills. May have received a new generic pack with inconsistent dosing
2. A polyp growing inside your uterus especially if this continues or worsen
3. Perimenopause
4. Hormone therapy
5. Withdrawal bleeding
6. Others
