Menstrual Problems

A menstrual cycle is the process by which a woman's body gets ready for the chance of a pregnancy each month. The average menstrual cycle is 28 days but can range from 21 days to 35 days. 

 

A cessation in menstrual periods (called amenorrhoea) or other menstrual irregularities could be a sign that something is wrong. Menstrual irregularities can mean bleeding between your periods, skipping a period or having very heavy menstrual periods. It is important to seek medical advice if you have these symptoms. 

 

Investigations 

  • Ultrasound examination of the ovaries and uterus
  • Blood test for various hormones 

 

Treatments for Menstrual Problems 

  • Hormone treatment for regulation of periods
  • Ovulation induction if there is a desire to get pregnant
  • Hormone replacement for premature menopause
