    I've been bleeding for 19 days
    I've been bleeding for 19 days now and I'm wondering if I should go to the hospital ?

    The thought didn't occur to you earlier?

    I assume we are talking menstrual bleeding... then you should have gone the second day after it should have stopped.

    If it was anything else.. you should have gone a lot sooner.

    It's happened to me. You need to see a gynecologist so your hormone levels can be checked and any other issues can be detected.

    When you say bleeding, how much? (How often are you changing pad/tampon?)

    Not much on a pad like a few drops but when I go pee it comes out a lot or when I'm trying to have bath to comfort myself it comes out

    You can probably wait and ask your doctor for a gynecology referral.

    Then go. You've waited 19 days.
