Hi,
As per your age, it is likely that you are in to the perimenopausal stage and such sort of disturbance is quite common in this phase of life. Any sort of stress can easily distort the menstrual cycles now. Weight disturbances, stress, infections and certain medications cause such a situation. You may see a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and management. If necessary, you may be advised hormones for withdrawal bleed as hormonal disturbance is most common at this stage. Wish you good health.
