What Causes Light Menstrual Bleeding With Short Duration?
Question: For past two months, I've been having hardly any bleeding during my periods. Is it cause for worry? Am I entering pre-menopause ?
Brief Answer:
Many causes
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.
There can be many causes for low bleeding during periods like stress, infection, medicines, menopause, thyroid abnormalities, etc. Please let me know if you have any associated symptoms.
I would suggest that you get examined by a gynecologist and get some tests done like pap smear, ultrasound abdomen, thyroid profile, LH & FSH levels, etc.
We can arrive at any conclusion after these tests have been done.
Hope it helps.
