    Question

    I am 16 years old and i have been having my period for 3 years now. My period comes every 19 or even 15 days prior to the last one. Should i worry?

    Answer

    Not to worry, but you may be tired because of the blood loss. If you want to stop the frequency, keep track of them for a couple of months and then see your doctor - she can talk to you about ways to make the time between them longer.
