Management of Menstrual Problems

Menstrual problems are common among women of all ages and can include irregular periods, heavy bleeding (menorrhagia), painful cramps (dysmenorrhea), missed periods (amenorrhea), and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Effective management begins with identifying the underlying cause, which may range from hormonal imbalances and stress to underlying health conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, or uterine fibroids. Treatment options vary depending on the severity and cause and may include lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, hormonal therapy (like birth control pills), pain relief medications, or surgical intervention in more severe cases. Regular gynecological checkups, maintaining a healthy weight, stress management, and tracking menstrual cycles can help in early diagnosis and effective treatment. Personalized care from a qualified gynecologist ensures the best outcomes and improved quality of life for women experiencing menstrual disorders.
