Hello, i am 16 years old and i am experiencing a period with a really light flow (it stopped for a while) and strong cramps. what could be the reason?

Nothing wrong: sometimes, specially when you're young, there is no a variance on menstrual periods, including how long they last, the amount of flow, and how long between periods. It will probably normalize itself in a few months. However, if it doesn't in a few months, have your doctor order some hormone tests.

Probably normal: You'll notice throughout your life that not all periods are created equal. You will likely have light and heavy months. Some months will have more cramping. If the cramps are severe, see your doctor for evaluation. You can always use ibuprofen for pain control. I hope this helps!
