I have been experiencing prolonged periods since January 7th. I am 28 years old, diagnosed with PCOS, and currently not using any contraceptives.

My boyfriend's penis started bleeding a lot during sex and hasn't stopped. How long have you dealt with the bleeding? Is this issue stable or getting worse?
