    Question

    I am 25 and just need information. I have had bleeding for at least a month. It has been red, brown and orange colored. It gets heavy and then light and then heavy again. I had pain right before and at the beginning of the bleeding but no other symptoms that I can recognize. Should I be concerned?

    Answer

    Bleeding for a month is not usual and you really need to be seen by a doctor to determine the cause and consequences - which can include anemia.
