What Causes Scanty Periods?

I'm 49 and I've noticed my cycle may be changing. However, this current monthly cycle hardly any blood comes onto the pad but when I wipe myself the tissue is soiled with blood. Why is it not coming out? This has been for several days already, possibly a week.

Hi,
I understand your concern.
You are in peri menopausal phase of life. This period precedes menopause,so stoppage of menstrual cycle occurs with gradual changes in menstrual habit.
* Your present symptoms of scanty / long standing spotting are due to hormonal pre menopausal changes in body.It may follow profuse bleeding/ absence of menses in future.
* It needs maintenance of local hygiene / psychological balance ( Meditation, yoga )/ routine mild exercise( walking )
* Consult your doctor if symptoms become bothersome. Medications are available for severe complaints.
Thanks.
