Brief Answer:
Diagnosis needs to be confirmed

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Irregular, short and prolonged periods are most likely due to either hormonal disturbances, infection in uterus or lesions in the uterus like fibroids.
I will suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated including thyroid and prolactin hormone levels, ultrasound and get further treatment accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Regards
Dr Deepti Verma
