Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Less than normal bleeding during the periods can happen due to hormonal changes in the body.
You can get your blood test done to find out if you are anemic. Taking a healthy diet XXXXXXX in XXXXXXX vegetables and protein, remaining stress free and having regular exercise will bring your bleeding back to normal.
In case it is persistent then consulting your gynecologist fro a thorough evaluation will help.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.

Wishing you good health.
Regards.
