Menstrual Disorder Treatment in Bhandup West, Mumbai

A healthy menstrual cycle is a sign of good overall health. When your periods become irregular, excessively heavy, absent, or accompanied by severe discomfort, it is your body signalling that something needs attention. At Dr. Swapna's Mothercare in Bhandup West, Mumbai, we diagnose and treat the full range of menstrual disorders with precision and care.

Common Menstrual Disorders We Treat

• Irregular periods (oligomenorrhea)

• Heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia)

• Absent periods (amenorrhea — primary or secondary)

• Frequent periods (polymenorrhea)

• Inter-menstrual or post-coital spotting

• Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and PMDD

• Hormonal imbalances causing cycle disruption

• Bleeding disorders related to fibroids, polyps, or endometriosis

How Are Menstrual Disorders Diagnosed?

Dr. Swapna begins with a detailed history of your menstrual pattern, symptoms, and lifestyle. This is followed by a physical examination, pelvic ultrasound, and hormonal blood tests (FSH, LH, prolactin, thyroid, AMH). In some cases, a hysteroscopy or endometrial biopsy may be recommended to rule out uterine pathology.

Treatment Options

Treatment is always tailored to the underlying cause. Hormonal imbalances may be addressed with oral contraceptive pills, progesterone therapy, or other hormonal medications. Structural causes like fibroids or polyps may require minimally invasive procedures. Lifestyle changes including diet, exercise, and stress management often play a significant supporting role.

When Should You See a Doctor?

You should consult Dr. Swapna if your periods have been irregular for more than 3 months, if you are soaking more than one pad per hour, if you have not had a period for 3 or more months (and are not pregnant), or if your menstrual symptoms are affecting your daily life and work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can stress cause irregular periods?

A: Yes. Physical or emotional stress can disrupt the hormonal signals between the brain and ovaries, leading to delayed, missed, or irregular periods. Managing stress alongside medical treatment is important.

Q: Are irregular periods a sign of PCOS?

A: Irregular periods are one of the most common symptoms of PCOS, but not all irregular periods indicate PCOS. A proper hormonal evaluation and ultrasound is needed for accurate diagnosis.

Q: Can menstrual disorders affect fertility?

A: Yes. Conditions like anovulation (lack of ovulation), hormonal imbalances, or uterine issues associated with menstrual disorders can affect fertility. Early treatment improves outcomes significantly.
