I was diagnosed with H. pylori infection, chronic gastritis, and a hiatus hernia in mid-2024. Following the diagnosis, I experienced significant weight loss and nutritional deficiencies. It took almost a year for my body to recover. Although my gastritis has improved, I have noticed a persistent change in my menstrual flow. My periods continue to arrive regularly and on time, without missed cycles. However, my menstrual duration has decreased from around five days to three days, and sometimes just two days, with very light bleeding. Initially, I was told that my menstrual cycle would gradually return to normal as my body recovered from the significant hormonal and inflammatory changes associated with my illness. However, even now, my flow fluctuates. I may have two months of relatively normal flow, followed by a month with very light bleeding or spotting.
