A member asked:
I'm wondering why are my periods so short?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Short period: The main reason for light/ short periods is a change in hormone levels. Causes for what seems to be a light period can include: implantation bleeding in early pregnancy, thyroid problems, eating disorders, excessive exercise, initial periods for a girl, use of an intrauterine device, oral contraceptives & perimenopause.
