Question:

One of the girls I babysit for has been on her period for about 10 weeks she is almost 12. Started at 9.?

We are waiting for her insurance card to arrive but in the mean time I am so worried for her that she will become anemic from loosing all of that blood for so long or that it will affect her when she gets older and wants children...


Answers:

As long as she has insurance she can be treated, all that would need to be known would be who her insurance company is. I would get her to like an urgent or immediate care center. That is a good place to start. Or even call one and see what they say, or call a local emergency room and see what they say.

She needs to be seen, and treated, that much blood loss isn't good. In the meantime, make sure she is eating and drinking well

TIP: Spinach is high in iron which is what you lose a lot of when you bleed.

Good Luck
