Menstrual Irregularities

Understanding and Treating Menstrual Irregularities at Medace Clinic

Many women experience irregular periods throughout their lives. While occasional variations are normal, frequent irregularities can be concerning. At Medace Clinic, we understand the importance of regular menstrual cycles and offer comprehensive evaluation and treatment for menstrual irregularities.

Treatments

What are Menstrual Irregularities?

A menstrual cycle is considered irregular if your periods:

  • Occur at intervals of less than 21 days or more than 35 days.
  • Vary significantly in length from month to month.
  • Are unusually heavy or light.
  • Are completely absent for three or more months in non-pregnant, non-breastfeeding women.

Causes of Menstrual Irregularities:

Several factors can contribute to irregular periods, including:

  • Hormonal imbalances: Fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone, the primary female sex hormones, are a common cause. This can occur due to puberty, approaching menopause, birth control use, or certain medical conditions.
  • Stress: Chronic stress can disrupt hormone regulation and lead to irregular periods.
  • Weight fluctuations: Significant weight gain or loss can impact your menstrual cycle.
  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): This hormonal disorder can cause irregular periods, excess androgen (male hormone) levels, and cysts in the ovaries.
  • Thyroid problems: Both an overactive and underactive thyroid gland can affect your menstrual cycle.
  • Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID): This infection of the reproductive organs can cause irregular bleeding.
  • Uterine fibroids or polyps: These benign growths in the uterus can lead to heavy or irregular bleeding.

Evaluation and Diagnosis at Medace Clinic:

Our team will take a comprehensive approach to diagnose the cause of your menstrual irregularities. This may involve:

  • Detailed medical history: Discussing your menstrual cycle patterns, overall health, and any medications you take.
  • Physical examination: A pelvic exam to assess your reproductive organs for abnormalities.
  • Blood tests: Hormonal evaluation to assess estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid function.
  • Ultrasound scan: To visualize the uterus and ovaries for potential fibroids, cysts, or other abnormalities.

Treatment Options for Menstrual Irregularities:

Treatment for menstrual irregularities depends on the underlying cause. Here are some common approaches:

  • Hormonal birth control: Birth control pills, patches, or intrauterine devices (IUDs) can regulate your cycle and reduce heavy bleeding.
  • Lifestyle changes: Maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress, and getting regular exercise can positively impact your menstrual cycle.
  • Medications: Depending on the cause, medications may be prescribed to regulate hormone levels or address underlying conditions like thyroid problems.
  • Minimally invasive procedures: For fibroids or polyps, minimally invasive procedures may be recommended for removal.
