What Causes Light Menstrual Bleeding With Short Duration?
My last period was May 18 and I get my period every 34-39 days. Sometimes 50 days. But usually 34-38 days. Well this month on the 20 I started to spot which I was like my period is coming early. Well I Didn t really need a pad. The blood was pinkish. Next day same thing. On the 3 rd I wipe and it was a brownish color to it. Then today on the 4 I need 2 small panti liners which red blood came out on the panti liner and in the toliet there was about 2 drops of blood. And every time I get my period I always pee out blood. By the way when I spotted pink on the 2nd day I peed a drop of blood also. What s going ? Am 18 yrs old. and don t really wanna ask my mom.

Hi,
The cause for light menstrual bleeding for such long duration should be identified. Hormonal imbalance is the main cause of delayed or irregular or scanty menstrual bleeding. The cause of irregular periods such as polycystic ovaries, obesity and hypothyroidism should be identified and treated effectively. Ultrasound pelvis, FSH, LH hormone ratio, thyroid profile and blood sugar level, body mass index is essential to identify the cause of irregular periods.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
