Menstrual cycle and hormones
My genral menses were for about 4-5 days but since last month its 8-9 days and then i got my periods again within 15 days for 9-10 days now. The bleeding is less but for so many days. I am stressed and want to know what is happening with me and what do i need to do to fix this. Also i see some major changes in my weight in past 7-8 months. Is a hormone disbalance or something else?

This does sound hormonal. Get TSH, FSH, LH, prolactin and pelvic ultrasound done. PCOS is very common at your age and causes exactly this â irregular long cycles with weight changes. Stress can also trigger it.

Periods stretching to 8-9 days and returning within 15 days points to a hormonal shift. Stress alone can do this, but when the pattern repeats it needs checking.
Next Steps
Get a hormone panel done, including thyroid and prolactin. An ultrasound will also help rule out any structural cause.
