What are menstrual problems?

Menstrual problems cover a range of abnormalities in the menstrual cycle — irregular timing, unusual bleeding patterns, and the physical or emotional symptoms that come with them. They can show up at any stage of reproductive life, from adolescence through to menopause, and vary widely in severity and frequency.

These issues are often shaped by hormonal shifts, lifestyle factors, and underlying reproductive health conditions. An occasional irregular cycle is usually nothing to worry about, but problems that persist over several cycles are worth a proper evaluation, since they can point to deeper hormonal or reproductive health concerns.

How the menstrual cycle works

A period is one part of the wider menstrual cycle — a series of changes in the ovaries, uterus, and hormones that repeats roughly every 28 days, though some cycles run naturally longer or shorter. Day one of the cycle is the first day of a period, and a typical period lasts about five to seven days. What's "normal" varies from person to person, which is why tracking your own pattern over time matters more than comparing it to a textbook average.

When to see a doctor?

See a gynaecologist if menstrual problems persist for several cycles or start interfering with daily life, work, or emotional wellbeing — persistent irregularities often point to an underlying hormonal or reproductive issue worth investigating. Seek medical attention right away for sudden heavy bleeding, severe pain, frequently missed periods, or symptoms like dizziness, unexplained weight change, or fertility concerns.

Diagnosis of menstrual problems

01

Detailed Medical History

A thorough review of cycle patterns, duration, flow, pain severity, lifestyle, stress levels, and family medical history.

02

Physical & Gynaecological Examination

A pelvic exam checks the uterus, ovaries, and reproductive organs for fibroids, cysts, infections, or structural issues.

03

Hormonal & Blood Tests

FSH, LH, oestrogen, progesterone, prolactin, and thyroid function tests, alongside a complete blood count to rule out anaemia and check blood sugar and vitamin levels.

04

Imaging & Advanced Diagnostics

Pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound, with a Pap smear, endometrial biopsy, hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, or MRI used in more complex cases.

05

Fertility & Ovulation Assessment

Ovulation tracking, hormonal profiling, and an assessment of ovarian reserve when fertility is a concern.

Treatment options

Hormonal therapy & medication

Oral contraceptives, progesterone therapy, pain relief for cramps, and targeted medication for thyroid disorders, PCOS, infections, or anaemia.

Advanced gynaecological treatment

Treatment for fibroids and ovarian cysts, management of endometriosis and adenomyosis, and minimally invasive procedures like hysteroscopy or laparoscopy.

Long-term management

An individualised plan with regular monitoring of hormonal and reproductive health, combining medical therapy with lifestyle changes.
