It is hard to answer you because it is not really clear what your bleeding pattern is, bleeding for three weeks straight or bleeding once every three weeks. Either way, this is not a normal menstrual patterns, as you know. It is usually a sign of hormonal imbalance or something else, which needs to be checked out by a gynecologist. If you are menopausal, you also need to be checked out by a gynecologist to make sure there is nothing serious causing this bleeding. Gynecologists are very familiar with what tests to do for people with unusual bleeding problems. See if you can make an appointment with one to check this out for you. Sandra Welner, MD
