Menstrual Problems
Overview
Do you remember when your last menstrual period started and how long it lasted? If not, perhaps it’s time to start paying attention.
Keeping track of your menstrual cycles can assist you in understanding what is normal for you. You can also track your ovulation and detect significant changes, such as a missed period or unusual menstrual bleeding. While irregularities in your period are usually not serious, they can be caused by other health issues.
If your menstrual cycle is causing you stress, you must consider talking to our gynaecology expert Dr. Pranjali Singh to get your symptoms identified correctly and select an ideal irregular menstrual treatment in dubai for your irregular menstrual bleeding in Dubai.
A Normal Menstrual Cycle
The menstrual cycle is the monthly series of changes the body goes through to prepare for pregnancy. Each month, one of the ovaries releases an egg. This is called ovulation. Hormonal changes at this time get the uterus ready for pregnancy. If the released egg isn’t fertilized during ovulation, the lining of the uterus (womb) sheds through the vagina. This is a menstrual period.
A menstrual cycle begins with the first day of your period, or menstruation and starts over again when the next period begins. The average menstrual cycle occurs every 28 days on average and lasts between five and seven days. Some menstrual cycles are slightly longer than others. What is “normal” for you may be different from what is “normal” for someone else.
Menstrual Disorders
If you encounter any of the following symptoms you experience before or during your period, you may have a menstrual cycle disorder and must seek irregular periods treatment in Dubai:
One in every five women bleeds so profusely during their periods that they must put their normal lives on hold to deal with the excessive blood flow.
Heavy bleeding is defined as interfering with normal activities. A normal menstrual period results in about 5 tablespoons of blood loss, but if you have heavy menstrual bleeding, you may bleed 10 to 25 times that amount each month. You may need to change a tampon or pad every hour rather than three or four times per day.
You may have also had the inverse problem of heavy menstrual bleeding — no menstrual periods at all. Amenorrhea, or the absence of menstruation, is common before puberty, after menopause, and during pregnancy. If you don’t have periods every month and don’t fall into one of these categories, you should talk to our doctor about your situation.
Dysmenorrhea or severe menstrual cramps have been reported by the majority of women at some point in their lives. It’s part of some people’s monthly routine. If your cramps are extremely painful and persistent, this is known as dysmenorrhea, and you shouldn’t avoid seeing a gynaecologist right away.
Menstrual cramps are caused by uterine contractions, which are triggered by prostaglandins, hormone-like substances produced by uterine lining cells and circulated in the bloodstream. If you have severe menstrual pain, you may also experience diarrhoea or a brief feeling of faintness in which you become pale and sweaty.
Other terminology frequently used to describe menstrual problems are:
Irregular Menses: If cycle lengths vary from cycle to cycle by approx. 10 days, they are considered irregular. As an example, one cycle length is 28 days, but the next is 60 days.
Oligomenorrhea: Condition where your periods occur infrequently. You may go more than 35 days between periods or have six to eight periods a year.
Polymenorrhea (frequent menses) refers to a menstrual interval of less than 21 days.
Intermenstrual bleeding occurs between menses, discontinuous with the cycle.
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB): Abnormal uterine bleeding without a clear underlying pathology.
Women who suffer from PMDD (roughly 3 to 8% of all women) report that it significantly interferes with their lives. Experts compare the distinction between PMS and PMDD to that between a mild tension headache and a migraine.
The most common PMDD symptoms are irritability, anxiety, and mood swings. Women with a history of major depression, postpartum depression, or mood disorders are more likely than other women to develop PMDD.
Treatment Options for Menstrual Disorders
Medications
Medication therapy is frequently effective and a good first option. The benefits are only available for as long as the medication is taken, so if you go this route, be aware that medical treatment is a long-term commitment.
Low-dose birth control pills, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), progestins, and can support controlling heavy or irregular bleeding caused by unregulated hormones. If your periods have stopped, oral contraceptives and contraceptive patches can prove to be quite effective at restoring regular bleeding, though they do not address the underlying cause of your bleeding cessation. Both can also aid in the reduction of menstrual flow, the improvement and control of menstrual patterns, and the relief of pelvic pain during menstruation.Surgery
If your symptoms do not respond to medications, you might have to resort to surgical interventions for irregular periods treatment in Dubai.
Endometrial Ablation
This procedure involves using heat, electricity, laser, freezing, or other methods to diminish the uterine lining. Because they affect fertility, these procedures are only recommended for women who have completed their families.
Endometrial Resection
During this surgical procedure, our surgeon removes the uterine lining with an electrosurgical wire loop.
Dilation and Curettage (D&C)
This procedure entails your cervix being dilated. Then, instruments are used to scrape away your uterine lining. A D&C can also be used to rule out any abnormal uterine bleeding.
Hysterectomy
This is one of the most common surgical procedures used to stop excessive bleeding. It is the only treatment that guarantees that the bleeding will stop completely, and if required, the entire uterus may also be removed in this surgical treatment.
Myomectomy
Fibroids may lead to heavy bleeding issues. Myomectomy is one such surgery that can get you rid of this issue carefully after observing the number of fibroids, their size, and their location.
