Treatment for heavy bleeding, painful periods, irregular cycles and missed periods at Mamta Women's & Multispeciality Hospital, Aai Mata Road, Parvat Patiya.
Period problems get normalised. Women are told for years that heavy bleeding runs in the family, or that pain is just something to bear. Some of it is normal variation. Some of it is a treatable condition, or anaemia that is quietly wearing you down. The only way to know which is to have it looked at.
Menstrual disorder covers several different problems: bleeding that is too heavy or too long, periods that hurt badly, cycles that come irregularly, bleeding between periods, and periods that have stopped.
Each has a different set of possible causes, from hormonal imbalance and thyroid problems to fibroids, polyps, PCOS, and in some cases changes in the lining of the uterus. Treatment depends entirely on which one it is, which is why the check comes before the medicine.
Soaking through protection, passing large clots, bleeding beyond seven days, or bleeding that is affecting your work or your energy.
Pain that stops you working, needs medicine every cycle, or has got worse over time.
Gaps that vary a lot, or no period for three months or more when you are not pregnant.
Between periods, after sex, or any bleeding after menopause. Bleeding after menopause needs checking without delay.
Any one of these is reason enough to book. You do not need all of them.
How heavy, how long, how often, and how it has changed. Bring a note of your last few cycles if you can, because the pattern narrows the possibilities faster than anything else.
A pelvic examination where needed, and a sonography to look for fibroids, polyps, ovarian cysts, and the thickness of the uterine lining.
Haemoglobin first, because anaemia from heavy bleeding is common and often missed. Thyroid and hormone tests where the pattern suggests them.
Where the sonography raises a question about the lining of the uterus, a hysteroscopy allows it to be seen directly and a sample taken. This is done at the hospital.
Iron for anaemia, hormonal treatment for hormonal causes, medicine to reduce bleeding, and surgery, often laparoscopic or hysteroscopic, where fibroids or polyps are the cause.
You will be seen by one of the hospital's gynecologists. A female doctor is available if you ask for one when you book.

We confirm a time and tell you what to bring, and whether a scan can be done in the same visit.
After the consultation you leave with a written plan, a follow-up date, and a number to call if something changes.
As a practical guide: soaking through protection every one to two hours, bleeding for more than seven days, passing clots larger than a rupee coin, or bleeding that leaves you tired and breathless. If it is limiting what you can do, that is enough reason to have it checked.
A family pattern is worth mentioning, but it is not a diagnosis and it is not a reason to accept it. Heavy bleeding has treatable causes and it frequently causes anaemia. Being related to someone who also had it does not make it harmless.
Usually not. Most period problems are treated with iron, hormonal treatment, or medicine to reduce bleeding. Surgery is considered where there is a physical cause such as a fibroid or a polyp, or where medicine has not worked. If a hysterectomy is suggested, ask what the alternatives are and why they do not apply to you.
No, come and be checked. Three months or more without a period, when you are not pregnant, needs a cause found. PCOS and thyroid problems are common explanations and both are treatable, and both have effects beyond your cycle if they are left alone.
