MENSTRUAL DISORDER

MENSTRUAL DISORDER

The different types of menstrual disorders include irregularity in periods, heavy bleeding or menorrhagia, painful menstruation or dysmenorrhea, and absent menstrual flow or amenorrhea. These can be contributed to by conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids. Most of these can be managed successfully with a combination of changes to lifestyle, medication, and in some cases, medical procedures. Diagnosis and effective management of the menstrual disorder require understanding of the underlying causes. Thus, regular follow-up with healthcare providers can diagnose, manage, or alleviate symptoms through appropriate treatment, hence promoting overall menstrual health and quality of life.
