Understanding Menstrual Disorders
Menstrual disorders involve unusual changes in a woman’s monthly cycle, such as irregular timing, heavy flow, missed periods, or painful cramps. These concerns can affect day-to-day life and often require proper evaluation for effective care.
Common Concerns
Irregular Cycles: When the time between periods varies or they arrive unpredictably.
Heavy Bleeding (Menorrhagia): Menstruation that lasts longer than usual or involves excessive blood loss.
Infrequent Periods (Oligomenorrhea): Periods that occur far apart or are lighter than normal.
Severe Cramps (Dysmenorrhea): Intense abdominal pain that disrupts regular activity.
PMS: Emotional and physical discomfort—like mood changes, bloating, or tenderness—just before menstruation.
Causes & Contributing Factors
Hormonal shifts, conditions like PCOS or endometriosis, thyroid imbalances, uterine fibroids or polyps, and lifestyle habits such as poor nutrition, intense workouts, or chronic stress can all interfere with cycle regularity.
What is Laparoscopy?
Laparoscopy is a surgical procedure that uses small incisions to examine and treat conditions affecting the abdomen and pelvis. It allows doctors to view the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes without the need for large cuts.
Healthy Habits for Menstrual Wellness
Eating a well-balanced diet, staying active, managing stress through relaxation techniques, and maintaining a stable body weight support better menstrual health. In some cases, hormonal contraceptives are used to regulate cycles and relieve symptoms.
