01 Understanding the Condition

Understanding Menstrual Disorders

A menstrual disorder is any pattern of periods that falls outside what's healthy for your body — cycles that are too frequent, too far apart, unusually heavy, painfully cramping, or missing altogether. These irregularities can stem from hormonal imbalance, thyroid disorders, PCOS/PCOD, fibroids, stress or underlying uterine conditions. At Sanjeevini Maternity & Fertility Centre, our gynecologists identify the exact cause behind your cycle changes and build a treatment plan to restore regularity, reduce pain and protect your long-term reproductive health.

  • Covers irregular, heavy, painful, prolonged or missed periods
  • Often linked to hormonal, thyroid or uterine causes
  • Highly treatable once the underlying cause is identified
  • Left untreated, can affect fertility and daily quality of life

02 Know the Difference

Types of Menstrual Problems

Menstrual disorders present differently from woman to woman. Our specialists assess your cycle pattern, flow and pain levels to identify exactly which type you're experiencing and treat it accordingly.

Irregular Cycles

Oligomenorrhea

Infrequent periods with cycles longer than 35 days, often linked to PCOS, thyroid issues or hormonal imbalance.

Heavy Bleeding

Menorrhagia

Abnormally heavy or prolonged periods that can lead to anemia, often caused by fibroids, polyps or hormonal imbalance.

Painful Periods

Dysmenorrhea

Severe menstrual cramps that interfere with daily activities, sometimes linked to endometriosis or fibroids.

Missed Periods

Amenorrhea

Absence of periods for three or more cycles, which can result from hormonal, thyroid, weight-related or PCOS causes.

Between Cycles

Intermenstrual Bleeding

Spotting or bleeding between periods, which needs evaluation to rule out polyps, infection or hormonal causes.

Hormonal Shift

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)

Mood swings, bloating, breast tenderness and fatigue in the days before a period, driven by hormonal fluctuation.

03 Recognising the Signs

Symptoms & When to Seek Care

Occasional changes in your cycle can be normal, but persistent or severe symptoms deserve a closer look. Recognising these signs early helps prevent complications such as anemia, infertility and chronic pain.

📅

Irregular Cycle Length

Periods that are consistently shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days.

🩸

Heavy or Prolonged Bleeding

Soaking through pads or tampons every hour, or periods lasting more than 7 days.

Severe Cramping

Pelvic pain intense enough to disrupt work, school or daily activities.

😴

Fatigue & Weakness

Tiredness or dizziness that may indicate anemia from heavy blood loss.

💧

Spotting Between Periods

Unexplained bleeding or spotting outside your regular cycle.

🌙

Missed Periods

No period for three or more consecutive months without pregnancy.

!
When to see a gynecologist

Book a consultation if your bleeding soaks through protection every hour, if cramps stop you from going about your day, if periods are absent for 3+ months, or if you notice bleeding between cycles or after menopause. Early evaluation makes treatment simpler and more effective.

07 Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

A cycle is considered irregular if it's consistently shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days, or if the length varies significantly from month to month. Occasional variation is normal, but a persistent pattern should be evaluated.
Sudden heavy bleeding can be caused by fibroids, uterine polyps, hormonal imbalance, thyroid disorders or, in some cases, bleeding disorders. A pelvic ultrasound and blood tests help identify the exact cause.
An occasional missed period can happen due to stress, travel or illness. However, missing periods for three or more consecutive months (when not pregnant) needs medical evaluation to rule out PCOS, thyroid or other hormonal causes.
Yes, since many menstrual disorders are linked to irregular or absent ovulation, they can affect fertility. Identifying and treating the underlying cause early improves your chances of conceiving when you're ready.
Treatment depends on the diagnosis and may include hormonal medication, lifestyle changes, management of underlying conditions like PCOS or thyroid disorders, or minor procedures for fibroids or polyps where needed.
