Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of hormonal imbalance or uterine infection is more.
So better to consult gynecologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of vagina and uterus
2. Hormone levels
3. Microscopic examination of discharge.
Avoid unprotected Intercourse as this can cause infection.
You may need hormone pills to regulate hormones. Once your hormones are normalize, you will get normal periods.
Avoid moisture and perspiration in private parts. Keep proper hygiene of private parts.
Wash genital area with warm water and betadine.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
