Reason For Less Or No Bleeding During Periods
Question: Reason for less or no bleeding during periods
Reason for less or no bleeding during periods
Brief Answer:
Can be due to hormonal imbalance.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
You seem to have hormonal imbalance. Please consult a gynecologist and have evaluation along the following lines - 1. Pelvic transvaginal ultrasound to evaluate the uterus and ovaries. 2. Hormonal profile - FSH, LH, TSH, Serum prolactin, adrenal hormones. 3. Complete blood count, liver and renal profile tests, glucose tolerance test. Common causes of cycles with lesser bleeding are - anxiety, stress, emotional turbulence, hectic travelling, recent changes in weight, ingestion of hormonal medications or medications that alter the menstrual cycle etc. Polycystic ovaries, hypothyroidism and endometrial pathologies also could cause such a picture. Sometimes, premature ovarian ageing could lead to pseudo menopausal symptoms, such as those you are experiencing. The above suggested workup would point towards a specific cause for your problems. Meanwhile, make sure you have an ideal BMI ( exercise regularly and eat healthy ), and that you are stress free.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
