My friend is 16. I am 17 and my friends tend to come to me with all kinds of problems because I am the oldest. All my friends that are girls and I talk about everything including our periods and other personal things. My one friend that is 16 has had her period since she was 13 but had never has been regular. I've told her it's normal for teenagers to not be regular, but in the last year her period has been really werid. She didn't have it for 6 months and now she got it again but has had it for almost a month stright. Her mom had problems when she was in her earily 20's. My friend told her mom that she had been bleeding after like 10 days and that this scared her but her mom say's not to worry about it, now it has been almost a month but she doesn't want to talk to her doctor because it is a male and her mom keeps saying if it doesn't end soon we will call the doctor. I told my friend she needs to find a doctor she is comfortable with and talk to them as soon as possible. I know that it is ok to miss periods or have them for a few days longer that normal when you are a teen, but you shouldn't be bleeding for almost a month. Do any of you have any ideas of how to help her find a doctor she might like or comfotable with, I was going to have her see my doctor but she just moved away. Or do any of you have an idea of what could be wrong??

Thank you for any help.
