Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I recently started a low calorie diet - high in protein and low in fat. Have been on it for two weeks and lost 10 lbs. I am perimenopausal and got my period 1 1/2 weeks early and it is still going after 8 days. I normally only have it for 4 days. Could this be related to the diet?
Hi, I think it can be due to change in diet or it can be a perimenopausal symptom. You can take some medicines like Tranexamic acid to stop the bleeding. It can be due to some infections also. Get yourself examined by a gynecologist.
