Hi doctor,
I am 18 years old. This time my period lasted for five days, but it came down lighter than usual. My period is always consistent, but normally during my periods I would just skip one day and my period is always heavy. Yesterday and today I have not been bleeding or even spotting. Is that normal? Please explain me.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
If the flow remains for three to four days and the cycle has been regular, then no need to be worried about a single episode of scanty bleed which may involve just light bleeding. As you are just 18, there may be stress induced hormonal imbalances, which could be either social, psychological, emotional, physical or academic that can contribute to the same. So, I suggest that you should be maintaining a menstrual calendar for at least three months. If the pattern remains the same, then this would lead to an investigation. For now, this would be termed as a normal menstruation.
