A member asked:

What could be the cause of low menstral flow and a reduction in the number of mentration days.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Menstrual issues: There are various reason to consider. At your age the first thing to check for is pregnancy. If not the case, thyroid, pcos, prolactin, stress, extreme weight fluctuations, just to mention of the most common reasons. If symptoms are persistent i would suggest you to get seen.
