About Menstrual Disorders

Menstrual disorders refer to a range of conditions affecting the normal menstrual cycle, including abnormal frequency, duration, or flow. An Obstetrician and Gynaecologist (OB/GYN) provides comprehensive diagnosis and management for these issues. The process begins with a detailed medical history, physical and pelvic examination, and may involve diagnostic tests like blood work (hormone levels, thyroid function), pelvic ultrasound, or hysteroscopy. Treatment is highly individualized, ranging from lifestyle modifications and hormonal therapies (like birth control pills) to minimally invasive procedures (e.g., endometrial ablation) or surgery (like hysterectomy) for severe cases. The goal is to restore a regular cycle, alleviate symptoms like pain or heavy bleeding, and address underlying causes such as fibroids, endometriosis, or hormonal imbalances.
