Menstrual disorders– are more than just a monthly inconvenience — for many women, they are a serious medical concern affecting daily life. From heavy bleeding and missed periods to extreme mood swings and painful cramps, these symptoms may be signs of underlying health issues.

What Are Menstrual Disorders?
Menstrual disorders include a wide range of symptoms and irregularities related to a woman’s menstrual cycle. These can affect physical health, emotional well-being, and even fertility.
Common symptoms include:
- Heavy menstrual bleeding
- Missed periods or absent menstruation
- Painful cramps (dysmenorrhea)
- Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
- Severe mood changes (PMDD)
Understanding the Menstrual Cycle
The menstrual cycle usually lasts 28 days but can vary from woman to woman. It’s regulated by hormones like estrogen and progesterone and involves several organs including the ovaries, uterus, and brain. Any disruption in this cycle may lead to menstrual disorders.
Types of Menstrual Disorders We Treat at Neighbourhood Clinic
