A member asked:
Is it concerning to have a light period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Here are some possible reasons. The main reason for light 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.
