Menstrual cycle disorders in Warsaw
A cycle that is late, irregular, heavy or painful has a cause, and finding it usually takes one visit with an ultrasound (450 zł) plus hormone tests. This site is in English, but appointments are not held in English — bring someone who can interpret, or tell me in advance and we will find a way.
What counts as a cycle disorder
The menstrual cycle is one of the clearest indicators of health. When it goes wrong it can point to a hormonal imbalance, a condition of the reproductive organs, an endocrine problem, or simply what is going on in your life.
A normal cycle runs 24–38 days (FIGO), with bleeding for up to 8. Anything outside that, along with severe pain or unusually heavy or scanty bleeding, is worth having looked at.
What normal looks like
- Cycle length: 24–38 days
- Bleeding: up to 8 days
- Volume: up to about 80 ml of blood per period
- Some discomfort in the first days
- Regularity: cycle length varies by no more than about a week
The types of disorder
No periods
No periods for three months or more (six, if cycles were irregular before). Primary if they never started by 15, secondary if they stopped after a normal cycle.
Infrequent periods
Infrequent periods, more than 38 days apart. Often linked to polycystic ovary syndrome.
Frequent periods
Periods less than 24 days apart. May point to disordered ovulation or a weak luteal phase.
Heavy periods
Heavy, prolonged bleeding — over eight days, or heavy enough to affect daily life. It can lead to anemia.
Very light periods
Very light bleeding — little more than spotting — or very short, one or two days. Often a sign of hormonal change.
Painful periods
Periods painful enough to get in the way of life. Primary when nothing else is wrong, secondary when endometriosis or fibroids are behind it.
What causes it
Hormonal imbalance
The ovaries, thyroid or pituitary not working as they should
PCOS
Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the commonest causes
Stress
Sustained stress changes hormone production
Weight
Rapid weight loss and obesity both disturb the hormonal balance
Conditions of the uterus
Fibroids, polyps, endometriosis, endometrial hyperplasia
The thyroid
Both an underactive and an overactive thyroid affect the cycle
