What Are Menstrual Disorders?

Menstrual disorders are conditions that unsettle the normal menstrual cycle. Understanding these disorders is vital for effective management and treatments.

 They can be noticeable in various forms, including:

• Amenorrhea:
  It is the absence of menstruation for three or more cycles. It can be categorized as primary (never having had a period by age 16) or secondary (the cessation of periods after they have started).
• Dysmenorrhea:
  It is identified by severe menstrual cramps and pain during menstruation.
• Menorrhagia:
  This refers to abnormally heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding. Menorrhagia can lead to anemia if left untreated.
• Irregular menstrual cycles:
  Irregularities can include cycles that are shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days.
• Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS):
  PMS includes a range of symptoms such as mood swings, bloating, and irritability that occur before menstruation.
