Menstrual health
Menstrual health & disorders
Periods that are heavy, painful, irregular or unpredictable are common — but they are not something you simply have to live with.
Concerns we assess
Irregular periods
Cycles that vary widely in length or are difficult to predict.
Heavy bleeding
Bleeding that soaks through protection, contains large clots or limits daily life.
Painful periods
Pain that interferes with work, study, sleep or routine activity.
Missed periods
Periods that stop for several cycles without an explained reason.
Abnormal bleeding
Bleeding between periods, after intercourse or after menopause.
Cycle changes
A clear change from your usual pattern that persists over a few cycles.
Possible contributing causes
Menstrual symptoms can have several causes. Evaluation aims to identify which apply to you.
- Hormonal imbalance, including PCOS and thyroid conditions
- Fibroids
- Ovarian cysts
- Endometriosis
- Infections
- Structural changes in the uterus
- Medication or contraceptive effects
Treatment principles
Treatment depends on the cause, your age, whether you are planning a pregnancy and how much the symptoms affect your life. Options may include medical management, treatment of an underlying condition, or a procedure where clearly indicated.
Guidance

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What counts as a normal cycle?
Cycle length varies between women. A pattern that is consistent for you, without heavy bleeding or disabling pain, is generally reassuring — a clear change from your own pattern is worth assessing.
Are painful periods normal?
Mild discomfort is common. Pain that interferes with daily activity or is worsening should be evaluated.
Will I need surgery?
Most menstrual concerns are managed medically. Procedures are considered only when clearly indicated after evaluation.
