Answer
Hi Sadaf,
Sorry for the delay. My regular practice has been unbelievably busy.
First, you are not consuming nearly enough calories. At 5' 6" and 58kg, you are close to being underweight. Abnormal periods are also not normal and don't have to be "accepted as part of life". I would suspect that you may be anemic and malnourished. This sounds serious and If I were you, based on what you say, I'd find another doctor that will be more interested in your health.
