Menstrual Disorders Treatment in India

Sara Brown, a 28-year-old elementary school teacher, had always struggled with her periods. For the past three years, her cycles became increasingly debilitating. She experienced extremely heavy bleeding (menorrhagia) that forced her to change super-plus tampons and pads every hour for the first two days, alongside severe cramping that left her pale and nauseated at work. She felt constantly exhausted and had been diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia. Her social life suffered as she lived in fear of embarrassing leaks. Her OB/GYN, after ruling out other causes with blood tests and an ultrasound which revealed a slightly enlarged uterus, diagnosed her with probable adenomyosis. The doctor recommended a Mirena IUD (intrauterine device) as a first-line treatment to significantly reduce bleeding and pain. Sara was nervous about the insertion, but her doctor explained each step and used a local cervical anesthetic. The procedure itself was a brief, intense cramp followed by steady pressure. For the first 3-6 months, Sara experienced irregular spotting and some cramping, but it gradually subsided. A year later, her periods are now light, manageable spotting, her anemia has resolved, and the crippling pain is gone. Emotionally, she transitioned from feeling controlled by her body and isolated by her condition to regaining her energy, confidence, and freedom. She no longer plans her life around her period.
