    Question

    I have periods in this way: first for 20-15 minutes per day, then normal flow for 4-5 days. Then again for 10-15 minutes per day. This happens almost always for the whole month. Why?

    Answer

    Only a doctor can help you figure out why, but if in fact you bleed each day of the month, please go talk with your doctor and let her help you figure out why. Chances are good that your hormones just need a little boost and then you will not bleed every day, which is not normal.
