Evaluation and treatment of irregular menstrual cycles, heavy bleeding, and associated symptoms to improve quality of life.
Menstrual disorders, including irregular periods, heavy bleeding (menorrhagia), painful periods (dysmenorrhea), and absent periods (amenorrhea), are common issues that affect many women. Effective management of these disorders begins with identifying the underlying cause, whether it’s hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), fibroids, endometriosis, or lifestyle factors. A thorough evaluation by a healthcare provider, including physical exams, blood tests, and imaging, helps determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
Treatment options vary depending on the specific disorder and its severity. For hormonal imbalances, oral contraceptives, hormone therapy, or progestin medications are commonly prescribed to regulate cycles and reduce symptoms. Pain management for dysmenorrhea can include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), while more severe cases may require laparoscopy or other surgical interventions. Lifestyle changes, such as maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and stress management, can also improve menstrual health. In more complex cases, medical procedures like endometrial ablation or hysterectomy may be considered. A personalized approach to menstrual disorder management helps restore balance, reduce discomfort, and enhance overall quality of life.
