I’ve had a period for 14 days that stopped for 5 days and then began again. This is the first time it has happened. I am not using any contraceptives or medications, and I am 37 years old. My periods are generally regular, and I have an ultrasound scheduled for Dec 8. What could be causing this prolonged and irregular bleeding, and what should I do?

What could be causing these boils, and what can she do to treat them safely while breastfeeding?
