Menstrual Disorders

What are Menstrual Disorders?

Menstrual disorders refer to irregularities in the menstrual cycle that affect a woman’s health and well-being. These may include irregular periods, heavy bleeding, severe cramps, missed periods, or prolonged cycles. Hormonal imbalances, underlying health conditions, and lifestyle factors often contribute to these disorders.

Early diagnosis and proper treatment can help regulate periods, reduce discomfort, and improve reproductive health.

Types of Menstrual Disorders

Irregular Menstrual Cycles – Unpredictable periods that vary in length and flow.
Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (Menorrhagia) – Excessive bleeding lasting more than seven days.
Painful Periods (Dysmenorrhea) – Severe abdominal cramps and discomfort.
Missed Periods (Amenorrhea) – Absence of menstruation for three or more cycles.
Prolonged or Short Cycles – Periods occurring too frequently or lasting too long.

Causes of Menstrual Disorders

Menstrual irregularities can result from several factors, including:

Hormonal Imbalances – Fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone affect the menstrual cycle.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) – A hormonal condition that disrupts ovulation.
Thyroid Disorders – Hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism can impact menstrual regularity.
Uterine Fibroids – Non-cancerous growths in the uterus causing heavy or painful periods.
