Menstrual Problems

Many women will experience menstrual problems sometime in their lives. Often a change in the usual menstrual pattern can be a symptom of an underlying medical concern.

What Are Menstrual Problems?

Menstrual disorders are a class of problems affecting a woman’s monthly menstrual cycle. Menstrual disorders include any or more than one of the following:

  • Dysmenorrhea (painful periods): Not only can your period be lighter or heavier than normal, but it can also be painful. Cramps are normal during periods and they occur when your uterus contracts as your period begin. However, some women experience excruciating pain and may require treatment.
  • Irregular periods or missed periods: In some cases, women may not get their period. This is called amenorrhea. Primary amenorrhea is when you don’t get your first period by age 16. This may be caused by an issue with the pituitary gland, a congenital defect of the female reproductive system, or a delay in puberty. Secondary amenorrhea occurs when you stop getting your regular periods for six months or more.
  • Heavy periods: Another common menstrual problem is a heavy period. Also called menorrhagia, heavy periods cause you to bleed more than normal. You may also have your period for longer than the average of five to seven days
