Menstrual changes

At Badagine we provide an individualized gynecological assessment, explaining the tests, findings and available options in clear language.

Overview

Changes in menstruation include irregular cycles, heavy or prolonged bleeding, missed periods, severe cramps and bleeding between periods.

Causes and risk factors

Possible causes include pregnancy, hormonal changes, polycystic ovary syndrome, fibroids, polyps and the menopausal transition.

Symptoms and warning signs

Symptoms vary from person to person. A medical assessment is useful when symptoms persist, recur or interfere with everyday life.

Diagnosis and assessment

Assessment may include a pregnancy test, blood tests, ultrasound and, when appropriate, endometrial evaluation.

Treatment options

Treatment is tailored to the cause and may include medication, hormonal options or procedures. Very heavy bleeding with faintness needs urgent care.

Follow-up and prevention

The choice of tests depends on your symptoms, medical history and examination. Not every patient needs the same investigations. Treatment should be individualized according to the diagnosis, your preferences and any plans for pregnancy.

When to seek medical advice

Seek urgent care for severe pain, heavy bleeding, fainting or fever with significant symptoms.

Frequently asked questions

Does an abnormal result always mean something serious?

Not necessarily. Many findings are benign, but appropriate follow-up is important.

Can I choose treatment without an examination?

An accurate diagnosis helps avoid unnecessary or unsuitable treatment.

What should I bring to the appointment?

Bring previous test results, a medication list and any relevant medical reports.
