Menstrual Irregularities Treatment at CritiCare Asia Hospitals, Malad
Many women put up with unpredictable periods for months, assuming it is stress or simply part of a busy life. CritiCare Asia Hospitals is a gynaecology hospital in Mumbai where such concerns are heard without hurry. Cycles do vary, and a few days either way is rarely a worry. Persistent change from month to month is different and deserves attention. We provide irregular periods treatment in Malad, Mumbai for girls, women and those nearing menopause, with a team that stays involved from the first visit to the review.
What Counts as an Irregular Cycle
Most cycles run 21 to 35 days, with bleeding for around three to seven days. Patterns outside this range are treated as irregular. Women often notice:
- Periods less than 21 days apart
- Gaps beyond 35 days, or timing that keeps changing
- Three or more missed periods, when not pregnant
- Flow that is clearly heavier or lighter than their own normal
- Spotting between periods
On their own, these do not give a diagnosis. They tell the doctor where to look.
Types of Menstrual Disorders
Doctors group cycle problems into a few recognised types, which guides the menstrual disorder treatment a woman receives in Malad, Mumbai.
- Oligomenorrhoea
infrequent periods - Amenorrhoea
no period for three months or more, apart from pregnancy or breastfeeding - Menorrhagia
excessive or prolonged bleeding - Polymenorrhoea
periods coming too close together - Dysmenorrhoea
pain severe enough to get in the way of daily life
What Causes Them
Hormones are usually involved. PCOS interferes with ovulation, and thyroid disorders, whether underactive or overactive, can disturb the whole cycle. Long periods of stress, rapid changes in weight, and intensive exercise affect the hormones behind menstruation. As menopause approaches, perimenopause makes cycles less predictable.
Fibroids and polyps may first appear as heavy or irregular bleeding. Medicines such as hormonal contraceptives, blood thinners, and some psychiatric drugs can also change bleeding, so the doctor should know everything a woman takes.
When It Signals Something Serious
Most cases are manageable once the cause is clear, but some signs should not wait:
- Bleeding through a pad or tampon in an hour
- Large blood clots
- Periods lasting more than a week
- Bleeding after menopause
- Severe pain that does not respond to usual relief
- Irregular periods alongside unexplained weight change, tiredness or excess hair
Diagnosis of Menstrual Irregularities
A conversation about cycle length, flow, pain and recent life changes comes first, with plenty of time for questions. A pelvic examination follows. Ultrasound checks for fibroids, polyps and ovarian cysts, and blood tests look at hormones, thyroid function and, where bleeding is heavy, anaemia.
Treatment Approaches
The cause decides the treatment.
- Better sleep, nutrition and exercise can bring cycles back in a few months when stress or lifestyle is at the root
- PCOS or thyroid conditions are treated at the hormonal level, not just the bleeding pattern
- Oral contraceptives or other regulating medicines can steady cycles or lighten heavy flow
- Structural causes such as fibroids or polyps may call for a procedure, planned after diagnosis
