How come some girls get heavy periods and others very light?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Periods: Depend on multiple factors. They are determined in part by inheritance. They also depend on how recently the girl started having periods, stages of puberty, hormones, medications, weight, exercise, body fat, nutritional status, illnesses, pregnancy, stress, etc.
