Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Anaemia can cause irregular periods. Don't worry, you can easily correct anaemia. First confirm about your hemoglobin levels by getting your blood tested.
Eat iron rich foods like jaggery, dark green leafy vegetables and dates in your diet. Supplement iron and folic acid along with protein supplements everyday for a month.
You should get back your periods to normal as your anaemia gets corrected.
Wish you good health.
