Brief Answer:
DONT WORRY, BUT HAVE AN EVALUATION

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
As such, it is normal as you are in the peri menopausal age group.
Plus, conditions such as stress, anxiety, weight changes, unaccustomed exercise, change in diet or sleep habits, travelling - all can cause this to happen.
You should however have an evaluation from a Gynecologist if you have not had one in the past 6 months.
This should include a pelvic ultrasound scan to know the status of the uterus / ovaries , a Pap smear and internal exam.
Also, hormonal levels - FSH, LH, Serum estradiol will check how close you are to actual menopause.
Thyroid levels should be checked too.
You should not worry, but have a checkup to confirm what is going on.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.
