Period lighter and short duration

2025-12-02 06:55:50
I have always had regular and normal periods. This month the flow is lighter than usual and only lasted 2 days. 3rd day, it is very less. Usually, my period lasts for around 4 days. Is it normal ?

Single episode of lighter flow is not an issue Can be due to stress/ lifestyle changes/ weight changes

To see whether you are under constant physical and mental stress/ have some chronic illness/ condition. 4.

If this is just one episode , then it might be due to temporary stress . If it persists then do hormonal evaluation.
