I am not bleeding much during the period. Should I worry?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

From you short history, the only significant finding is your weight. A minimum of 30 lbs/inch2 of BMI(body mass index) is needed to have periods. The normal fat in the body is gradually converted to hormones and further support the growth of the follicles, the uterus and the inner lining of the uterus which later bleeds. But when this hormonal support is low, the periods may come, but the inner lining may not develop as required and the bleeding noted is very scanty or may not come at all. To substantiate my theory, the hormone I am mentioning is the estrogen (female hormone). It is needed for the female body shape, breast, waist size, and contour. With such a low BMI and hormones, these areas will be poorly developed. This is not a thing to worry about. Do get your thyroid profile and serum prolactin done any of these days on an empty stomach at 6 to 9 AM. If abnormal, get it corrected. Do not start eating too much to put on weight. Just have lots of nutritious, protein-rich, fruits and vegetables, and avoid fatty food.

I hope I have clarified your query.
