Menstrual Problems
Menstrual irregularities are a common concern affecting women of all ages. At our practice, we specialize in investigating and diagnosing various menstrual problems, offering personalized solutions for women’s health.
Common Menstrual Issues:
- Heavy Painful Periods: Experiencing intense pain and discomfort during periods can be distressing. Our team can assess the underlying causes and recommend suitable management strategies.
- Scanty Irregular Periods: Irregular menstrual cycles can pose challenges. Through advanced diagnostics, including blood tests and ultrasound scans, we can identify contributing factors and advise on effective management.
- Lack of Periods: Absence of periods, known as amenorrhea, requires careful evaluation. We employ comprehensive diagnostic tools to uncover the root causes and guide you through appropriate management options.
Understanding Heavy Periods:
Determining whether your periods are unusually heavy can be challenging, as normal varies from person to person. However, consider the following signs:
- Getting up at night to change sanitary products.
- Using multiple sanitary products simultaneously.
- Changing sanitary products every one or two hours.
- Passing blood clots larger than 2cm.
- Bleeding persistently for over a week.
If you experience any of these signs, it’s essential to consult with our team. Untreated heavy periods can lead to complications, such as iron deficiency anemia.
Causes of Heavy Periods:
Several factors contribute to heavy periods, including fibroids, endometriosis, stress, dieting, hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovaries, premature menopause, and more. Abnormal uterine bleeding, encompassing various issues like bleeding between periods, after intercourse, and post-menopause, can also indicate underlying concerns.
Seeking Medical Attention:
When you visit us, our experienced doctors will conduct a thorough examination, inquire about your medical history, and perform relevant tests, such as blood tests, hysteroscopy, and ultrasound imaging, based on the suspected cause.
Treatment Options:
We believe in personalized care, tailoring treatments to your preferences and future childbearing plans. Conservative options include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, tranexamic acid, hormonal medications, and intrauterine systems.
For cases where conservative treatments are ineffective or for issues like fibroids or endometriosis, we offer procedures such as uterine artery embolization, ultrasound surgery, myomectomy, endometrial ablation, or hysterectomy, depending on your specific needs.
Our goal is to empower you with knowledge and options, ensuring a comprehensive and compassionate approach to your menstrual health.
If you are experiencing menstrual problems, don’t hesitate to contact us for expert guidance and personalized care.
