Hello,

There are many factors that may cause light periods like anemia, thyroid issues, hormonal problems, stressful lifestyle, emotional/ physical stress, etc. If you have regular periods though light you should not be bothered. It will not effect pregnancy. Take home made well balanced diet.

Take food rich in iron, calcium & protein. Take iron supplements. Get clinically examined by a Gynae to detect any pathology causing the symptoms so that the treatment can be started at the earliest. Yes, you should take the prescription medicines given by your treating doctor. Yes, after the course of Primolut-N 5mg is complete you will get periods.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
