Menstruation Lasting More Than Ten Days

Question
I am a woman whose cycle has always been 8 days, but this cycle has extended to 12 days. Should I perform Ghusl and pray?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: You must perform ghusl after ten days have passed, and you must make up the prayers after eight days; because what follows is istihada and not menstruation, and God knows best.
