Brief Answer:
urine pregnancy test

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
It means that there can be pregnancy in case thete is a history of unprotected sexual activity.
Do a urine pregnancy test and see for results.
But in case there is no such history then get certain blood tests done viz TSH and prolactin and then update me with reports for further assistance.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
not significant clinically

Detailed Answer:
There can be several common reasons for decreased flow in periods.
Most common physiological reasons are
- stress which can be professional or domestic
- acute diarrhea or fever
- missing meals over a long duration
- new exercise schedule
In case she usually gets less periods then one time decreased flow is usually of no clinical significance.

I hope I have answered your query properly.
Wish you the best of health
