Menstrual Disorders Treatment in Mumbai

A normal period involves total blood loss of approximately 30 to 80 millilitres per cycle. In practical terms, a period is considered too heavy if you need to change your sanitary towel or tampon more frequently than every hour or two for several consecutive hours, if you are passing blood clots larger than a 50-rupee coin regularly, if your period lasts longer than seven days, if you find yourself restricting social activities or missing work or school because of your period, or if you are experiencing symptoms of anaemia such as persistent tiredness, paleness, and breathlessness between periods. Any of these signs warrant a visit to our period problem doctor in Mumbai for proper evaluation.

 Occasional irregularity in cycle length is normal, particularly around significant life events involving stress, illness, dramatic changes in weight or exercise level, or during the year or two around the beginning and end of the reproductive years. However, missing three or more consecutive periods when you are not pregnant and are not approaching menopause is not normal and should be investigated. Conditions including PCOS, thyroid disorders, elevated prolactin from a pituitary adenoma, premature ovarian insufficiency, and hypothalamic amenorrhoea from excessive exercise or under-eating are all treatable causes of missed periods.

Adenomyosis is a condition where the tissue that normally lines the uterine cavity grows into the muscle wall of the uterus itself. This causes the uterus to become enlarged and boggy and leads to very heavy, painful periods and sometimes chronic pelvic pain. It is different from endometriosis, where similar tissue grows outside the uterus entirely on other pelvic structures. The two conditions can coexist and share some symptoms, but they are distinct conditions with different patterns of disease and different treatment implications. Adenomyosis is diagnosed primarily by ultrasound or MRI and managed with hormonal treatments or in definitive cases with hysterectomy

Yes. The hypothalamus, which is the part of the brain that controls hormone release, is directly responsive to physical and psychological stress. Significant stress can disrupt the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian hormonal axis, leading to delayed or missed ovulation and consequently irregular or absent periods. This is why women commonly notice menstrual irregularity during periods of high stress at work or in personal life, after major illness, during periods of intense exercise, or with significant weight changes. While stress-related menstrual changes usually resolve when the stressor passes, persistent irregularity lasting more than three months should be evaluated to rule out other causes.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) refers to a collection of physical and emotional symptoms including bloating, breast tenderness, headaches, irritability, and low mood that occur in the week before menstruation and resolve when the period begins. PMS is common and affects the majority of women to some degree. Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a more severe form affecting approximately 3 to 8 percent of women in which the psychological symptoms, particularly severe depression, anxiety, irritability, and mood swings, are significant enough to substantially interfere with work, relationships, and daily functioning. PMDD is a recognised medical condition that benefits from structured management including lifestyle interventions, SSRIs, and hormonal therapy.
