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?

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

It's understandable you're looking for ways to increase your breast size before your wedding, but achieving a significant change in size in just two months, especially without surgery, is unlikely. While some exercises can strengthen chest muscles and improve appearance, they won't significantly alter breast size. It's crucial to manage expectations and prioritize realistic goals
