Brief Answer:
Likely to be hormonal cause
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Irregular periods in your age group are mostly due to hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease.
Of these, polycystic ovarian disease is the most common diagnosis.
Scanty flow during menstruation can be due to hormonal disturbances or due to uterine infection like tuberculosis.
I would suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated including hormonal profile, ultrasound and menstrual blood for examination of tuberculosis, and get appropriate treatment.
I would like to have the information about your height and weight, whether you had this problem since your periods started and whether you have abnormal hair growth on face, thighs or abdomen.
These points will further help me to reach to a diagnosis.
Please do get back to me with the information, if feasible.
Regards,
Dr Deepti Verma
