Hi Sometimes, harmonic changes tend to cause altered period cycles, either lesser or prolonged days of bleeding. Do not worry if the flow is light or only spotting. If your flow is heavy continuously the past ten days, then it might cause weakness due to loss of blood.
Next Steps
In case of heavy bleeding, consult with me for further evaluation and treatment.
