My poor menses

Published by

My menses which used to flow for 5 days suddenly changed to 3 days. In addition, I have some back pains. I am not on any Family Planning method. Please tell me what to do as I am very worried. I am 32 years of age.

The menstrual flow can sometimes be affected by both emotional and health issues such as worries, infection, hormonal fluctuations as well as underlying ailments. If you can prove that you have not had any emotional issues in the past few days, then you will need to subject yourself to some medical investigations such as X Rays, Ultrasounds as well as Laboratory tests. If all these come out normal, you may just give yourself some time and your menses may go back to its normal pattern.
