🩸 Menstrual Problems: Causes, Types, and When to See a Doctor

Menstrual health is a critical part of a woman’s overall well-being. However, many women face menstrual problems that affect their physical, emotional, and social lives. From irregular cycles to painful periods, these issues are common—but manageable with proper diagnosis and treatment.

At[Omar Hospital Lahore], we provide compassionate care and effective solutions for all types of menstrual disorders.

🔍 What Are Menstrual Problems?

Menstrual problems refer to any abnormality in a woman’s monthly cycle, including timing, flow, duration, or symptoms. These issues can signal hormonal imbalances, reproductive disorders, or underlying medical conditions.

⚠️ Common Types of Menstrual Problems

🔹 1. Dysmenorrhea (Painful Periods)

Severe cramps and pelvic pain before or during menstruation.

🔹 2. Menorrhagia (Heavy Bleeding)

Excessive blood loss lasting more than 7 days or soaking through pads frequently.

🔹 3. Oligomenorrhea (Infrequent Periods)

Periods that occur less frequently than every 35 days.

🔹 4. Amenorrhea (Absence of Periods)

No periods for three or more months without pregnancy or menopause.

🔹 5. Irregular Periods

Unpredictable cycle lengths or bleeding between periods.
