Hello,
Thanks for your query. What your facing is probably HYPOMENORRHOEA, after considering your associated symptoms, its more like HYPERANDROGENISM, i.e Increased androgen levels, so I suggest you consult a gynaec, and I think you should undergo some blood investigations like, Serum testosterone, DHEAS and 17-oh-progesterone levels, along with that get ultrasound of abdomen to rule out any ADRENAl causes.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow ups.
Wish you good health.
Regards,
Dr Arif
