What could explain a short, heavy period?!
Question:
What could explain a short, heavy period?
I typically have a light flow that lasts 4 to 5 days. I am able to use regular or junior (slim) tampons for the entire duration of my period. This month, however, my period lasted only 2 days and was so heavy that I went through regular tampons in just a couple of hours and had to run to the store to buy supers. What could have caused this change? I am 21. I am on birth control but have been for a couple years now. There have been no major changes in my diet or exercise.
Answers:
There are many reasons why this could have happen, your body will go through changes from time to time.
Are you drinking enough water, are you under more stress, have you been traveling or have you been sick???
If you're still concerned make an apt. with your doc.
