Menstrual Problems

Menstrual problems refer to irregularities or difficulties related to the menstrual cycle, affecting a woman’s physical and emotional well-being. These issues can be caused by hormonal imbalances, stress, lifestyle factors, or underlying medical conditions.

Common Menstrual Problems:

• Irregular Periods (Oligomenorrhea/Polymenorrhea) – Menstrual cycles that are too short, too long, or unpredictable.
• Painful Periods (Dysmenorrhea) – Severe cramps, lower back pain, and discomfort before or during menstruation.
• Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (Menorrhagia) – Excessive bleeding that lasts longer than normal, leading to anemia.
• Absent Periods (Amenorrhea) – Missing periods for three or more months due to hormonal issues or stress.
• Scanty Menstrual Flow (Hypomenorrhea) – Very light periods, which may indicate hormonal imbalance or uterine issues.
• Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) – Mood swings, bloating, headaches, and irritability before menstruation.
• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) – Irregular cycles, excessive hair growth, acne, and weight gain due to hormonal imbalance.
• Endometriosis – Painful periods caused by the growth of uterine tissue outside the uterus.
