Hello Sakshi,
I understand your concern. Your issues might be due to hormonal imbalance, low body weight, stress or uterine issues.
I advise you get these investigations done - Thyroid Profile, Sr. Prolactin, Pelvic Ultrasound and CBC. Review with these reports.
For pain relief - Tab. Drotaverine+mefenamic acid whenever pain occurs. Warm compress/hot water bag during periods.
Maintain healthy diet & weight. Regular exercise, yoga, stress management.
If you are having stress issues, you can consult with me, I’ll be more than happy to help.
And please consult a Gynecologist or a Family Physician with your reports as well for physical examination as you have long standing issues.
Regards, Dr. Nirav Jain MBBS, DNB D.Fam.Med

Menstrual issues like low flow and pain can be quite troublesome and may have various underlying causes. At your age, such symptoms are commonly due to hormonal imbalances, but could also hint at conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or endometriosis. It’s important to start by visiting a healthcare provider to discuss these symptoms thoroughly. They’ll likely suggest some blood tests to check hormone levels and possibly an ultrasound to look at the ovaries and uterus for signs of PCOS or other conditions like fibroids. Keep track of your cycle, noting the length, flow, and pain, as this information can be helpful during your medical visit. In the meantime, certain lifestyle adjustments may alleviate some symptoms. Regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and a balanced diet can influence menstrual health positively. Stress management techniques such as yoga or meditation might also help, as stress can affect hormone production and exacerbate menstrual issues. Over-the-counter pain relief like ibuprofen can help manage the pain temporarily, but it’s not a long-term solution. If PCOS is diagnosed, hormonal treatments such as birth control pills might be recommended to regulate your periods. Remember, personal medical advice should always be grounded in a face-to-face consultation with a healthcare professional. If symptoms worsen or are accompanied by severe pain, fever, or heavy bleeding, seek immediate medical attention.
