Q: why do girls get lighter periods and short periods? i used to always get 6 days period and not its becoming shorter and lighter?

: There is a wide variation in the length and severity of bleeding on periods. Shorter and lighter is not a cause for concern. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines
