Hello ma'am and welcome.

You have failed to mention your age, depending on your age one of the cause (pre-menopause) can be ruled out or suspected.

Either way, a hormonal imbalance is most probably present. It would be difficult to predict the exact cause as I do not have much information to work with here ma'am. But I would recommend an elaborate evaluation including a hormonal check, ultrasound examination and complete blood count.

Possible causes can be uterine abnormalities, hormonal imbalance, stress, strenuous exercise, birth control, etc.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
