Dr. Betsy Greenleaf answered

Specializes in Gynecology

3 day period: This can occur for many reasons from hormonal imbalances, stress, infection, pregnancy, bleeding disorders, medical disorders, growths..... If it becomes a pattern over 3 months, then follow up with gynecologist. Sometimes there are just changes in your cycle.
