Menstrual disorders include changes in the regularity, duration, flow, or discomfort associated with menstrual periods. These problems may occur at different stages of life and can sometimes indicate an underlying hormonal or gynecological condition.

Common concerns include irregular periods, absent periods, unusually heavy menstrual bleeding, prolonged bleeding, severe menstrual cramps, and bleeding between periods. Possible causes include hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and other medical conditions.

Treatment begins with a detailed assessment of menstrual history, symptoms, medical background, and reproductive health goals. Depending on the situation, investigations may include blood tests, hormone assessments, or pelvic ultrasound examinations.

Treatment options vary according to the underlying cause and may include medication, hormonal therapy, management of associated conditions, or surgical treatment when clinically necessary. Patients may also receive guidance on tracking their menstrual cycle and recognizing symptoms that require medical attention.

Appropriate evaluation can help identify the cause of menstrual problems, relieve symptoms, and support long-term reproductive and general health.
