There are tons of reasons why your period can be such a pain and last so looooooooong. Among them are weight loss, weight gain, stress, thyroid changes, medications, pregnancy, stress (stress is a biggie) and that's just for starters.

If this persists or recurs monthly like this, it would be a good idea to see a gynecologist to see what's up.

Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
