Should my mind be at rest or should i be worried

Answer: Hi 

A change in the duration of your periods can be due to innocuous reasons or something more serious 

First lets rule out the less serious stuff that can change the length of your period like a change in your schedule or stress a new birth control or particular medications you just started including pain killers excessive exercise or athletic activity significant weight changes or eating disorder Also women notice different kinds of changes in the features or characteristics of their period as they get older 

Other causes that are considered more serious might include thyroid disorders PCOS However they usually are accompanied by other symptoms such as acne or sleep disorders etc 

How long have you noticed the change If you havent noticed other symptoms it might be nothing to worry about However I would advice that you see your gynaecologist as soon as you can for a routine check up 

Cheers
