A sudden change in your menstrual cycle, like having a shorter period (only 2â3 days of bleeding), can be normal in some cases, but itâs good to monitor if it continues.
Possible Causes of Shorter Periods:
1. Hormonal Changes â Natural hormonal fluctuations, stress, or lifestyle changes can shorten periods.
2. Perimenopause (If in Late 30s or 40s) â If youâre nearing your late 30s or 40s, early signs of perimenopause can cause shorter or irregular cycles.
3. Nutritional Deficiencies â Low iron, vitamin B12, or vitamin D levels can affect your cycle.
4. Weight Changes â Sudden weight loss or gain impacts period duration.
5. Stress or Lifestyle Factors â Excess stress or excessive exercise can lead to hormonal imbalances.
6. Thyroid Issues â Hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism can affect period length.
7. Uterine Lining Issues â If the uterine lining is not thick enough, periods can become shorter.
8. PCOS or Other Hormonal Imbalances â Even without classic PCOS symptoms, mild hormonal imbalances can alter cycles.
Next Steps
If this continues for three weeks A simple hormonal blood test (FSH, LH, prolactin, thyroid, and AMH) can help check if thereâs an underlying issue. ⢠Pelvic ultrasound can check the thickness of the uterine lining and rule out other conditions.
