Menstrual health is an essential aspect of a woman’s overall well-being, and understanding its importance can lead to better management of menstrual issues. A regular menstrual cycle is often a sign of a healthy reproductive system, but irregularities, heavy bleeding, or other discomforts can signal underlying health problems. At TEATREE Hospital, we offer comprehensive care to diagnose and treat a variety of menstrual issues to ensure that women can lead healthy, active lives.

Common Menstrual Issues

• Irregular Periods: Many women experience irregular menstrual cycles, which can vary in length or occur less frequently. Stress, hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are common causes of irregular periods.

• Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (Menorrhagia): Some women experience unusually heavy or prolonged bleeding during menstruation. This condition can lead to fatigue, anemia, and a significant disruption in daily activities. Causes include uterine fibroids, hormonal imbalances, or issues with the lining of the uterus.

• Painful Periods (Dysmenorrhea): Many women experience cramping or pelvic pain before or during their periods. While mild cramping is common, severe pain may be associated with conditions such as endometriosis or fibroids.

• Amenorrhea: The absence of menstruation, known as amenorrhea, can be caused by factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, stress, excessive weight loss, or medical conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid disorders.

• Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS): PMS refers to a range of symptoms that occur in the days or weeks leading up to menstruation, including mood swings, irritability, bloating, and fatigue. These symptoms can significantly affect a woman’s quality of life.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

At TEATREE Hospital, we provide a thorough evaluation to identify the root cause of menstrual irregularities. This includes:

• Medical History Review: We start by discussing your menstrual history, lifestyle, and any symptoms you may be experiencing.

• Physical Examination: A complete pelvic examination may be conducted to check for abnormalities in the reproductive organs.

• Ultrasound and Imaging Tests: In cases of heavy bleeding or pain, an ultrasound may be used to assess the condition of the uterus and ovaries.

• Hormonal Tests: Blood tests may be ordered to check for hormonal imbalances or other conditions like thyroid dysfunction.

Treatment Options

Depending on the diagnosis, our team offers various treatment options to manage menstrual issues effectively:

• Medications: Pain relievers, hormonal contraceptives, or medications that regulate hormones can be prescribed to manage pain, bleeding, or irregular cycles.

• Lifestyle Changes: Stress reduction, exercise, and a balanced diet can help regulate menstrual cycles and reduce symptoms like bloating and fatigue.

• Surgical Options: In cases of fibroids, endometriosis, or other conditions that do not respond to medication, surgical procedures like hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, or myomectomy may be considered.
