Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
You are having your period more frequently ,there are many reasons a woman may have frequent periods. Among them are such things as
hormonal imbalances, stress, extreme diets, exercise, and side effects of birth control.
A woman may also experience more periods than normal in relation to cysts that form on her ovaries and menopause. Even sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) may cause a woman to experience more periods.

If the periods are otherwise normal, then a short "luteal phase" or insufficient ovarian production of progesterone may be responsible
If the periods are inconsistent, then failure to ovulate and the resulting anovulatory bleeding may be responsible.
If the periods are actually normal and once a month, but there are episodes of bleeding in between the periods, then mechanical factors such as fibroids or polyps may be responsible. Women with hyperthyroidism are classically described as experiencing frequent, heavy periods.
So you must go and check with your doctor to find the cause of your frequent periods with hormonal check up and echo to see if there are cysts beside a complete blood count CBC to see if you developed anemia because of this condition and giving you after all that the appropriate treatment .
