Hi,
Yes, this is probably not related to your primary disease however abnormalities in cycle is quite common in female. Most of the time not a serious issue. This may be related to changes in hormone which occur with stress or many medicine, etc.
Until it's very heavy flow or its very prolonged or if you other symptoms like fainting or dizziness, you may wait otherwise see your doctor if any thing seems alarming.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
