Any changes to menstrual flow such as
changes in the colour or duration of the
period can be due to hormonal disturbance,
uterine abnormalities, infections and
other causes. However, you can consult
gynecologist for a vaginal examination and
to discuss the next steps in trying to
regulate your menstrual period to a
normal, regular flow.
