What Could Light Periods With Increased Fatigue Indicate?
Before and during my period my breast are normally really sore and tender. For the last 2 months my breasts haven t been sore at all. I normally have bad cramps an a heavy period but this month it was about 7 days late an when I did get my period it was super light just enough to fill a pad for a day with no cramps an it s been 3 days the 4th day seem a little heavier with slight cramps. I have been sick to certain smells an thing I use to be able to eat like onions I hate the smell an taste of them now. I have been eating more than usual an always sleepy an fatigued.... help anyone?
Hello. I have gone through your question and understand your concern. It is normal to have less to no tenderness at all in breast during periods and so are cramps, the only thing that matter is to get periods regularly every month with flow lasting less than 7 days. Delay in periods for few days can be due to factors like stress, hormonal imbalance, anemia, thyroid disorders, urinary tract infections and other reproductive pathologies. Go for few basic tests like complete blood test and thyroid profile. Olfactory sensitivity that is sense of smell is heightened in some women during periods, ovulation and pregnancy. So there is nothing to worry, sensitivity to smell will subside on its own in a week or two. Good luck. Hope your concern is answered. Thank You.
