Menstrual Disorders

What Are Menstrual Disorders?

Menstrual disorders occur when periods fall outside the typical range in terms of frequency, duration, heaviness, or pain, or when the physical and emotional symptoms surrounding menstruation become difficult to manage. These conditions are common and can significantly affect daily life, but effective treatments are available.

Ultrasound & Diagnostic Tests

A pelvic ultrasound may be recommended to check for fibroids, polyps, ovarian cysts, or changes in the uterine lining.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are heavy periods normal?

Heavy periods are not something you simply have to live with, especially if they affect your daily activities or quality of life. They may have an underlying cause that can be assessed and treated.

Menstrual disorders can have several causes, including hormonal changes, fibroids, polyps, adenomyosis, endometriosis, and other gynaecological conditions.

Some menstrual disorders may affect fertility depending on the underlying cause. However, many conditions can be effectively managed, and treatment can be tailored to your fertility goals.

Treatment depends on the cause and severity of your symptoms. Options may include medication, hormonal treatment, lifestyle support, or procedures and surgery where appropriate.
