I'm curious about whether PCOS could be causing my periods to be so light. I used to have normal bleeding for about five days, but now its only lasting two. What could be causing this change?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, PCOS can cause scanty periods. Reduced estrogen levels, thinning of the uterine lining, and increased androgen levels can contribute to lighter, shorter periods.
Other possible causes include:
- Hormonal imbalance
- Ovulation issues
- Insulin resistance
- Stress
- Weight changes
