Is this something I should worry about (ladies only please)?!


Question: Is this something I should worry about (ladies only please)?
the last 2 years or so my period only lasts about 3-4 days, the two days are horrible and I usually get a little sick from blood loss. Granted I am not complaining about the short time span... should I be worried? Btw I am 20 years old

Answers:

No worries, there is nothing wrong with having a 3 day period. Unfortunately, you've just been blessed with a heavy flow.



to me sounds like hypomenorrhea and dysmenorrhea
the hypomenorrhea when your period last few days
and the dysmenorrhea is the pain you have in your period
is nothing to worry about
I mean is not like you're gonna die because of this or gettin' some horrible disease
no, you can go to your doctor so he can give you something to control your aches in the period so it can be more nicely or less horrible :)

I'm 22 and when I was younger (in my teens) my period was VERY heavy and lasted about 5 days. It became lighter over the last couple years and lasts about 2-3 days. Dunno why but I'm thankful for it. I wouldn't be worried if there isn't anything else going on down there.



Nothing to worry about! Although, if you want your periods to be lighter (I had same problem as you, very heavy flow), try birth control. Go to your doctor and tell him exactly why you want it and he can get a brand specifically for your needs. I'm on it and my flow is light and so much more bearable. Best of luck!



Haha NO you shouldn't worry. You should be dancing for joy. That's pretty much the optimal period. When you are on birth control, 3-4 days is usually how long your periods last. So your hormones are very well balanced naturally. Congratulations. :)



my periods only last 3 days and are always very light =)
u just have short periods hun nothin to worry about
