	Answer by Dr Rowena S, MD (doctor) on Wed 01, Apr 2009 03:15am: The time and duration of menstruation depends on your hormone levels (estrogen and progesterone). The usual duration is 5-7 days. Other factors that can change your cycle include birth control pills, low body fat, losing a lot of weight, or being overweight, stress or very hard exercise. If your period is longer than 7 days or very heavy, check with your gynecologist for further evaluation. Detailed answer for your question: Available in paid version. - Click to pay.
