Most period experiences are normal, but some situations need a doctor’s attention. See a doctor if you haven’t gotten your period by age 16, if periods suddenly stop for 3+ months (and you’re not pregnant), if pain is severe and interferes with daily life, if you’re bleeding through products every hour, or if you have very long periods (more than 7 days regularly). Doctors are there to help make your periods manageable!
