No. Your doctor can prescribe you medication that can limit your periods to once a year. It would be prudent to consult a gynecologist. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines

Please speak to your doctor. There are medications that can help. You may need some testing first to be sure there are no specific problems causing this.
