Understanding Your Period: Common Menstrual Disorders and How Precision Gynaecology Can Help

Every woman's experience with menstruation is unique. However, there are times when periods become irregular, painful, or excessive. If you're experiencing abnormal menstrual bleeding, heavy cramps, or missed periods altogether, it's important to understand what might be causing these changes and seek medical attention.

At Precision Gynaecology, Dr. Neha Poddar is dedicated to women's health and can help diagnose and manage a variety of menstrual disorders. Here's a look at some common menstrual concerns and how Dr. Poddar can help you achieve a healthy menstrual cycle:

What is a Normal Menstrual Cycle?

Menstruation is the natural process where the lining of your uterus (endometrium) sheds each month if you haven't become pregnant. A typical menstrual cycle can range from 28 to 35 days, and your period itself may last anywhere from 2 to 7 days.

Common Menstrual Disorders:

Dr. Poddar sees a variety of menstrual disorders in her practice. Here are some of the most common:

Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB): This term covers a wide range of issues related to bleeding, including:

• Heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia): Periods that soak through pads or tampons frequently and significantly impact your daily activities.
• Prolonged periods: Periods lasting longer than a week.
• Spotting between periods: Unexpected bleeding outside of your regular menstrual cycle.
• Scant periods (hypomenorrhea): Very light or short periods.

Dysmenorrhea (painful periods): Severe menstrual cramps that can cause pain in your lower abdomen, back, and thighs, and may also be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and fatigue.

Amenorrhea (absence of menstruation): Missing one or more menstrual periods for three months or more in a non-pregnant woman who is not breastfeeding or going through menopause.

Oligomenorrhea (infrequent periods): Having periods that occur less than every 35 days.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD):These are related conditions that cause physical and emotional symptoms in the days or weeks leading up to your period. Symptoms can include bloating, mood swings, irritability, breast tenderness, and fatigue. PMDD is a more severe form of PMS that can significantly impact your daily life.

Causes and Risk Factors:

Menstrual disorders can arise from various factors. Dr. Poddar will work with you to identify the underlying cause in your specific case. Some common reasons include:

• Hormonal imbalances
• Uterine fibroids (noncancerous tumors in the uterus)
• Endometriosis (tissue similar to the uterine lining that grows outside the uterus)
• Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) - an infection of the female reproductive organs
• Ovulation problems
• Certain medications
• Stress
• Underlying medical conditions

Next Steps: Diagnosis and Treatment

If you're experiencing any menstrual irregularities, Dr. Poddar offers a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment. Here's what you can expect:

Patient History and Symptom Evaluation: Dr. Poddar will discuss your medical history, menstrual cycle patterns, and any symptoms you're experiencing.

Physical Examination: A pelvic exam may be performed to assess your overall gynecological health.

Diagnostic Tests: Depending on your situation, Dr. Poddar may recommend additional tests like:

• Pelvic ultrasound to visualize your uterus and ovaries.
• Blood tests to assess hormone levels.
• Endometrial biopsy (tissue sampling) in some cases.

Treatment Options:

The treatment plan Dr. Poddar recommends will depend on the specific disorder and its underlying cause. Treatment options may include:

Lifestyle Modifications: Simple changes to your diet and exercise routine can sometimes regulate your cycle and alleviate symptoms.

Medications: Depending on the diagnosis, Dr. Poddar may prescribe medications such as hormonal birth control pills, pain relievers, or medications to regulate ovulation.

Minimally Invasive Procedures: In some cases, Dr. Poddar may recommend minimally invasive procedures to remove fibroids or endometriosis.

Remember, you don't have to suffer in silence. Dr. Poddar at Precision Gynaecology is here to listen to your concerns and develop a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve a healthy menstrual cycle.
