A member asked:

Lighter than usual period. recently treated with long doses of fluconazole and metronidazole, and was awake for 41+ hours. can this stress be a cause?

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Periods: Stress can certainly alter periods. A lighter period is not usually a cause for concern. Some variation month to month is normal also. If you would like more control over your menstrual cycle consider one of the many available birth control options
