Understanding Menstrual Irregularities
Menstrual problems affect millions of women worldwide, disrupting daily life and signaling underlying health issues. Common concerns include irregular cycles, heavy bleeding (menorrhagia), painful periods (dysmenorrhea), absent periods (amenorrhea), or light spotting. These arise from hormonal fluctuations, often linked to stress, thyroid imbalances, or reproductive conditions.
Common Causes and Symptoms
Factors like lifestyle changes, excessive exercise, weight fluctuations, or medications contribute significantly. Symptoms range from severe cramps causing missed workdays to heavy flow leading to anemia and fatigue. Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) adds mood swings, bloating, and breast tenderness, impacting emotional well-being.
