Menstrual disorders include heavy bleeding, irregular periods, and mood swings that are difficult to manage.
Many women are able to get through the monthly period with little or no concern. They have a regular cycle that starts and ends at the same time each month.
Some women, however, experience physical or emotional symptoms before and during their menstrual cycle. These symptoms can disrupt the life of a woman in many ways. They may include heavy bleeding, missed periods and unmanageable emotion swings. Consider if Acupuncture Evesham might help. Visit www.purelandsacu.co.uk/acupuncture-evesham for more details.
There are simple explanations for most menstrual problems, and there is a wide range of treatments available to alleviate symptoms. Discuss your symptoms with a health professional if your period is causing you to feel overwhelmed. After your symptoms have been accurately diagnosed by your health care professional, they can guide you in choosing the right treatment for your period.
The Menstrual Period Your menstrual period is part of the menstrual cycle, which are a series of changes to your body parts (such as your ovaries and uterus) that take place every 28 days. Normal menstrual cycle lengths vary. Some are longer, while others are shorter. Your menstrual day is the first day of your cycle. Average menstrual periods last between five and seven days. The “normal menstrual cycle” that you experience may not be the same as what someone else experiences.
Menstrual Disorders You may be suffering from a “menstrual disorder” if you are experiencing symptoms before, during or after your period. They include:
- abnormal menstrual blood (AUB), which can include menstrual heavy bleeding, no bleeding (amenorrhea), or menstrual irregular bleeding.
- painful periods
- premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
- Premenstrual Dyphonic Disorder (PMDD).
