Understanding Types of Menstrual Disorders
Heavy Periods (Menorrhagia)
Long, heavy bleeding that disrupts daily life.
Irregular
Periods
Cycles shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days.
Painful Periods (Dysmenorrhea)
Cramps and discomfort before or during your period.
Missed Periods (Amenorrhea)
When your periods stop unexpectedly.
Early diagnosis and treatment can help you manage these conditions comfortably. Many causes like hormone imbalances, fibroids, or lifestyle factors can be addressed effectively.
Common Causes of Menstrual Disorder
Hormonal Imbalances
Hormonal imbalances in estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, or pituitary function often disrupt menstrual cycles, leading to disorders like PCOS.
Stress and Lifestyle Factors
Stress, weight changes, and lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, or travel can affect menstrual regularity by altering hormone levels.
Structural Abnormalities
Uterine fibroids, polyps, adenomyosis, and scarring inside the uterus can cause heavy, irregular, or painful bleeding.
Pregnancy-Related Causes
Ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, and pregnancy complications can cause menstrual irregularities and abnormal bleeding.
Medical Conditions
Endometriosis causes severe pain and irregular bleeding by growth of uterine lining tissue outside the uterus.
Medications and Contraceptives
Medications like birth control, IUDs, blood thinners, and some antidepressants can disrupt menstrual bleeding patterns.
How We Help You Treat Menstrual Disorders
Medical History
The provider asks about cycle patterns, pain, bleeding, history, health, medications, lifestyle, and sexual history. A menstrual diary helps track symptoms.
Physical Examination
A healthcare provider may perform a pelvic exam, Pap smear, and recto-vaginal exam to check reproductive health and detect abnormalities.
Blood Tests
Blood tests are used to check hormone levels (thyroid, FSH, estrogen, prolactin) and screen for anemia or bleeding disorders in cases of heavy bleeding.
Imaging Tests
Ultrasound (abdominal or transvaginal) detects fibroids, cysts, polyps, and structural issues, while sonohysterography uses saline for clearer imaging.
