Brief Answer:
Hormonal disturbance can be there
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Scanty flow in the periods can be due to stress, hormonal disturbance or physiological decrease in the blood flow.
I will suggest her to get thyroid and prolactin hormone tested, and an ultrasound done to confirm the diagnosis.
Further treatment should be done accordingly.
