About Menstrual Disorders
Changes in menstrual timing, flow or pain may have hormonal, structural or other causes. Assessment is important when symptoms affect daily life or signal an underlying condition. The purpose of the consultation is to understand your concerns, review relevant medical history and discuss whether testing, monitoring or treatment is appropriate. Not every patient needs an intervention; decisions are made in the context of symptoms, health, preferences and available clinical evidence.
When Should You Consult a Doctor?
- Your periods are unusually heavy
- Cycles become irregular
- You have severe cramps
- You bleed between periods or after menopause.
Diagnosis & Treatment
Evaluation may include pregnancy testing when relevant, blood tests, pelvic examination and ultrasound. Treatment depends on the cause and may include medicines, hormonal options or procedures. Your clinician will explain any recommended investigation or intervention, potential risks, alternatives, follow-up and expected limitations. Treatment is individualized and outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
