Understanding Menstrual Disorders
Menstrual disorders are conditions related to a woman's normal menstrual cycle. They are one of the most common reasons women visit their gynaecologist.
The symptoms associated with these disorders can disrupt a woman's daily life and sometimes affect her ability to become pregnant.
Advanced Diagnosis of Menstrual Disorders
At Cocoon Hospital, diagnosis starts with a detailed medical history and physical exam, including:
- Pelvic exam
- Pap smear
- Blood tests
- Hormonal tests
- Ultrasound
- Hysterosonography
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Hysteroscopy
- Laparoscopy
- Endometrial biopsy
- Dilation and Curettage (D&C)
Treatment Options for Menstrual Disorders at Cocoon Hospital
There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for menstrual disorders. Our gynaecologists and fertility specialists curate personalised plans depending on your underlying cause, whether you desire to have children, and other factors.
Our experts options range from lifestyle changes to medical options to minimally invasive surgery.
Lifestyle and Medical Management
- Hormonal Therapies: Oral contraceptives, IUDs, or progestins regulate cycles.
- Pain Relief: NSAIDs to reduce cramps and bleeding.
- Lifestyle Changes: A personalised, balanced diet, exercise, and stress reduction through yoga/meditation.
- Other Treatments: Antibiotics may be prescribed for infections, and iron supplements may be essential if heavy bleeding causes anaemia.
Advanced Treatments
- Endometrial Ablation: Destroys the uterine lining to address heavy bleeding.
- Hysteroscopy/Myomectomy: Removes fibroids/polyps.
- Laparoscopy for Endometriosis: Precise excision for pain relief.
Note: Not all menstrual disorders require treatment. Many mild or occasional irregularities can resolve on their own or don't need intervention if asymptomatic and not affecting your health or fertility. Treatment becomes necessary if the symptoms persist and affect the quality of your life.
Types of Menstrual Disorders Treated at Cocoon Hospital
Here are the common types
| Disorder | Description | Common Symptoms |
|---|---|---|
| Amenorrhea | Missing one or more menstrual periods; can be primary (no periods by age 16) or secondary (periods stop for 3+ months). | Hot flashes, headaches, nipple discharge (galactorrhea), vaginal dryness, vision changes, acne, excess facial/body hair growth. |
| Oligomenorrhoea | Infrequent menstrual periods, usually cycles longer than 35 days (around 4–9 cycles per year). | Acne, headaches, hot flashes, abdominal pain, vaginal discharge, vision problems, excess facial/body hair growth. |
| Polymenorrhoea | Frequent menstrual periods with cycles shorter than 21 days. | Frequent bleeding episodes, shortened menstrual cycle duration, fatigue due to repeated bleeding. |
| Menorrhagia / Hypermenorrhoea | Excessively heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding (lasting more than 7 days or blood loss >90 ml). | Heavy bleeding, passing large clots, needing to change pads/tampons during the night, fatigue, weakness, anemia symptoms. |
| Hypomenorrhoea | Unusually light menstrual bleeding with short duration (<2> | Light spotting, pale or watery discharge, shorter duration of bleeding. |
| Metrorrhagia | Irregular bleeding occurring between menstrual periods. | Unpredictable spotting or bleeding between normal cycles. |
| Menometrorrhagia (Abnormal Uterine Bleeding) | Heavy and prolonged bleeding occurring at irregular intervals; combines features of menorrhagia and metrorrhagia. | Heavy, irregular, prolonged, and unpredictable uterine bleeding at any time. |
| Dysmenorrhoea | Painful menstrual cramps that may interfere with daily activities. | Aching or throbbing lower abdominal pain, pelvic pressure, cramps, lower back pain, nausea in some cases. |
Medical attention is necessary if these symptoms persist, as they can indicate underlying conditions such as PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
Early diagnosis and personalised treatment can alleviate symptoms and long-term health outcomes.
