Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Irregularity in menstrual cycles can occur due to many causes.
Scanty flow during periods is called hypomenorrhea.
The possible causes for your problem are :
- Hormonal imbalance due to poly cystic ovary disease, stress and strain, weight changes etc.
- Thyroid hormonal abnormalities
- Prolactin levels fluctuation
-General causes like anemia, diabetes etc.
So,once consult gynecologist, get examined and go for investigations like hormonal profile including estrogen, progesterone, LH and FSH, thyroid profile, prolactin levels, hemoglobin, blood sugar levels, ultrasound.
With this workup the possible cause for your problem can be identified and treated.
In case of hormonal imbalance, you may need hormonal pills for few months to regularize the menstrual cycles.
Take care.
