Menstrual problems, such as irregular cycles, heavy bleeding (menorrhagia), painful periods (dysmenorrhea), or absence of menstruation (amenorrhea), can significantly impact a woman's quality of life. Effective management begins with identifying the underlying cause through a detailed medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests like blood work or imaging. Treatment options vary depending on the diagnosis and may include lifestyle modifications, medications, or medical procedures. Lifestyle changes like maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management can help regulate hormones and alleviate symptoms. Medications such as hormonal birth control, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or iron supplements may be prescribed. In severe cases, surgical interventions like hysteroscopy or laparoscopic procedures may be required. Early diagnosis and tailored management are key to improving overall health and well-being.
