Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

If I were your physician or gynecologist I would like to say that this is fairly a normal phenomenon and normal pattern and not to worry at all about this!

However, for your kind information I would mention that poor nutrition, tuberculosis like chronic diseases, severe anemia and general ill-health could cause scant periods!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
