Menstrual cycle disorders in Warsaw
Finding the cause of a cycle that is late, irregular, heavy or painful — and treating it, so the hormonal balance is restored.
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 21–35 days, with bleeding for 3–7. Anything outside that, along with severe pain or unusually heavy or scanty bleeding, is worth having looked at.
What normal looks like
- Cycle length: 21–35 days
- Bleeding: 3–7 days
- Volume: 50–150 ml
- Some discomfort in the first days
- Regularity, within about three days either way
The types of disorder
Amenorrhoea
No periods for more than six months. Primary if they never started by 16, secondary if they stopped after a normal cycle.
Oligomenorrhoea
Infrequent periods, more than 35 days apart. Often linked to polycystic ovary syndrome.
Polymenorrhoea
Periods less than 21 days apart. May point to disordered ovulation or a weak luteal phase.
Menorrhagia
Heavy, prolonged bleeding — over seven days or more than 80 ml. It can lead to anaemia.
Hypomenorrhoea
Very light bleeding, under 50 ml, or very short — one or two days. Often a sign of hormonal change.
Dysmenorrhoea
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
